It's good that you're thinking about how you built rapport with them. I am a firm believer that things don't just happen in the classroom by chance. Sure, it may have happened. But, things happen because of a deliberate action. I challenge you to think about deliberate ways that you can build rapport. Do you know the students' names? Do you use their names when interacting with them? Do you know anything about their lives outside of your class? Do you ask them about these events? Remember that you're the teacher, the adult, in the classroom. Teachers set the tone for learning. Good thinking. NB Hi Amy,

Do you feel as though you are helping your students climb the Bloom's level of thinking model. it seem’s like as the students become more comfortable with you they are less reluctant to ask for your help, but my question is are this students your helping on a knowledge level or an application level or which one do you think.

That good news. We don't spend much time in our cooperating teacher's classrooms, so that is good news. Looks like both you and students comfort levels have leveled. That good news.
