Google Sheets, or Google Docs that is open to everyone. Pear Deck, I have only tired once, but that was fun. We also have our community meeting every morning, as a whole class. At the end of the day we play a numbers game, I start, I will pick a number and the students try to guess why I picked that number. The one who guesses correctly, then gets to pick their own number, they get to know each other a little more.

We check in each day and note if there's someone who's feeling down, so we can make sure they're supported. We also have a weekly topic at morning meeting that we discuss as a team.

I use Kagan Cooperative Learning structures throughout the day, and on most days for morning work, I use a Google Classroom prompt each day (Theme Days: Motivation Monday, Talk About It Tuesday, Wonder Wednesday, Think About It Thursday and Friendly Letter Friday). This is a great way for students to share and reflect about things. We also do a community meeting every morning and ask three questions: How are you feeling? What is your goal for today? Who can help support you?

Lots of teambuilding activities, cooperative groups training, morning meeting videos and discussion
