Connecting with students is one of the most crucial aspects of education. Beyond academic instruction, the bonds teachers form with their students can significantly impact students' motivation, emotional well-being, and overall success in the classroom. Building these connections can be challenging, especially in a structured school day filled with lessons, deadlines, and assessments. However, one of the most effective ways to bridge this gap is through extracurricular activities, where both students and teachers interact in a more informal and engaging setting.
