Abstract	Children of migrant workers, whose employment necessarily entails travel and work during parts of the school year, suffer academically from their truncated schooling and a different cultural background from both those who teach them and those who attend school with them. To counter these disadvantages, the creation of an awareness group time--half an hour each day--provides all children within the class with a chance to speak freely and listen to others on matters of personal concern and to establish closer relationships among themselves. Also benefiting from these discussions, the teacher must establish a warm, non-critical atmosphere which inspires the children's trust, draws out shy children, and gently but firmly deals with aggressive children. From discussions, drawings, puppet plays, and role-playing within these awareness groups, the migrant child may become more aware of his feelings and what triggers them, of his potential capabilities, and of the interpersonal consequences of his behavior.
