I talk to my students as I'm on yard duty during recess. It's a good way to see them in kid mode and also to see how they interact and navigate their world.

I created a google form for each student with questions for them to answer.  Then I created a bingo scavenger hunt where they had to go around the room looking for a student that fit the statement in boxes to get a bingo.  After viewing the responses, I will be holding a1 on 1 meetings with each students.

I also had my students write down 1 goal they have for the school year.

I also plan to give students "notes from the teacher" cards with positive comments to lift their spirits and motivate them.

I have a 1 on 1 meeting with every single student on a weekly basis.

I have a personal mailbox which I encourage students to leave me notes if they do not feel comfortable addressing a matter face to face.

We have whole-class meetings to discuss things NON-academic.

Sometimes I do lunch with students

# data[].attributes.body
I have each student create a get to know me poster. I work with them in a small group setting so that we can have a small group discussion. I give verbal praise and have a token economy system to create an emotionally safe environment.

To create a positive emotionally safe classroom I will encourage a low anxiety, growth mindset, and safe environment. I will do this by building genuine relationships with students, make rules and expectations clear. I will emphasize that we are a classroom family who supports each other

# data[].attributes.body
I hold a class meeting every Mondays where students can share comments, questions, concerns anonymously through a comment box. We learn more about each other and how to solve problems, or celebrate the positives.

# data[].attributes.body
Constant dialogue- talk and discuss emotions and how we process what's going on. Students will know why they are doing what they are doing and how they can make positive changes.  Take the time to check in with students on an individual basis too.

# data[].attributes.body
I use a super low voice to make sure they really have to pay attention to my words and not my tone.

# data[].attributes.body
Encourage students to share ideas of connections from home as it relates to our lessons.

I have asked my students what they expect in a good teacher and I have promised to do those things for them!

# data[].attributes.body
I use a high pitched voice in the hope that it will reach my students. Also, I don't smile

When my students walk in the door each morning,  I give them a high 5, a hug, or a handshake (their choice.)
