I had regular “office hours” the entire time. I did a daily email question to my Homebase and met with them Tuesday & Thursday for about half an hour. I asked something simple like, “How do you like your eggs?” or “Bears or Tigers?” I got some really interesting responses! For my caseload & English classes, I had an hour every day where they could drop in and discuss anything - work for me or other classes, questions about grades or schedules, general fears & anxieties, etc. They knew I’d be there from 11-12 every day, and I sent frequent email & Classroom reminders with my Meet link (which I kept the same for 3 months!), and they showed up!

I would often post something "just for fun" in my morning message -- a photo, a video, a piece of music, a quote -- and those things got lots of student comments and thoughts. Then, I asked students to send me things they'd like to post as our "fun and comment" section.

I have a toddler who is very silly, expressive and loves to dance. I would post videos on Google Classroom for my students to see, they all enjoyed it veery much.

I would ask morning prompts for my students to respond, many were silly or required out of the box thinking, additional every Friday we did a "Fritivity" challenge, students used the creative process to make anything they wanted, that was a big hit.

Be Present:I made it a priority early to show students that I was present by consistently sending personal emails and updating Google classroom a few times a week. I tried to hard to mirror my personality that the students would see in the classroom too, but this was a lot more challenging to do through email.  I also looked for opportunities to praise and encourage whenever possible and I made all emails as positive as possible!

Google classroom discussions:  Post a question to google classroom stream and give detailed written and/or video feedback promptly. GC stream is not a very clear way to have a back and forth.  Is there something better?
Google meets:  Have 1:1 google meets with students to address problems in their learning, teach new content, create a social space
Email:  Have 1:1 email exchanges with students in which we discuss how things are going.  Open up as human beings experiencing difficulty.  Be careful not to share too much.
Phone calls:  *69 phone call to discuss student performance and needs.
Survey:  I did a google survey (translated into Spanish and Portuguese) that asked basic safety questions and collected academic activity information.  It also asked what/if students were doing anything special during this time. I followed up with contacts to explore and encourage these activities.

One strategy that I used to sustain relationships with students was asking thoughtful or fun questions in google classroom as a check-in. Sometimes I would ask it as a private Google classroom question, so that students felt safe answering just to me and I could write an individual response. Other times I would make it a public Google classroom question so that they could interact with each other. Another thing I tried was making google classroom quiz assignments that used google forms. I would have questions and serious to silly answer choices that students could just click on. Then I could take the graphs that were made from their answers in google forms and use them to report back to students about the whole group!
