I always want my classroom to feel like a family. I think that many of the students are beginning to have increased comfort and friendship, but enough are still struggling that I want to know how to help young children work through stress that they don't really understand.

We didn't start our Kindergarten classes until our KEEP testing was done and then we only attended 2 days/week. In addition to this, I have quite a few families that have had their students in and out of class. Everything has seemed kind of choppy. I have more students that struggle with emotions and peer interactions than I would usually expect. I also have more students that seem to have increased fear and/or stress.

I've tried to give every student multiple chances to share with the group when we are online. I also ask them questions and let them each report to the group and ask each other questions. I always have some type of a movement activity that we all do together and they seem to really get motivated by watching each other.

I like to start the year by sending a summer letter to each student and then doing a short "drop off" type visit. I usually just have something small to give each student, like a challenge game or survey. I try and talk with the student and at least one other family member.
