Again, I am in person but I did have office hours in the spring and I use them for my class at BBCC.  I am available to zoom, hangout, or talk on the phone during a set time each week.  In the spring I reserved an hour  in the evening three times/week that parents could reach out or join me in a zoom.

I am in person right now; however, I think being able to meet specific groups at a designated time each day that is consistent is best for small group synchronous sessions.

I am in person and do a morning meeting with a basic question or a would you rather-which worked in the spring online as well.  Then we do calendar together, which the children seem to enjoy.

I  conduct our morning meeting starting with an electronic calendar that includes our special for the day, using a ten frame to count how days we have been in school for the current month, along with links to calendar songs (days of the week, months of the year...)  The kids are engaged during the morning meetings.

I always have a short game or activity ready that helps introduce the kids to each other. We’ve done head shoulders knees and toes, Simon says, and who stole the cookie from the cookie jar with their names on an individual card. It’s helped the kids recognize faces better as well and the games have kept their attention!

I haven't given myself office hours yet. I have been responding to parents anytime they message me on remind. I did have a parent keep messaging me on a Saturday and I finally told her that I would check on it on Monday and she said oh I forgot today was Saturday. Need to do better at getting office hours.

I like to do my class meeting at the end of the day so we can discuss everything we learned for the day. It is a nice way to find out which activities were their favorite.

In preschool I use small group instruction with my students, but I don't put them in leveled groups. I try to make the groups equal so the students can help teach each other.

I try to make it a point to respond to late night emails or remind messages that are received outside of my office hours, the next day while I'm at school. This has helped me keep my work and home life separate...at least a little.

Class meetings are important, they allow discussion time with your group of students.  It gives them the chance to ask questions and talk about what we will be learning during that day.

I am in the classroom 5 days a week, so parents know they can contact me via school phone number, email, or Remind. If I am available at the time, I will take the call or respond immediately. If not, they know I will respond at the first opportunity.

Since I am in the classroom I will write about something I did last Spring. I had parents fill out a schedule of a good time to meet with their child individually to do reading with their reading group materials. This was really nice because I was able to ask the student questions and see how they were doing with their reading and comprehension.

I am in the classroom daily with my students. At our beginning of the year conferences I always give parents my office hours of 8am-4pm unless we set up a meeting. It is very important to let parents know when you are available for them but also letting them know that you also have a personal life that you need to be present in as well.

I'm a Blended Keep Teacher so every Friday I do a Science experiment with my students. Where they have the same materials I have and we explore Science together. The families and students love our meetings on Little Einstein Science together. Get Creative this year was always my thought going into this year. We usually have so much fun learning in the classroom that I wanted to keep that excitement and engagement even if they had to be at home learning.

So my small groups I haven't started yet but have been meeting with students/families 1:1 to do assessments with ESGI. If you haven't tried it I HIGHLY recommend trying the free trial. It's easy to share your screen and assess students quickly and with data easily recorded for you. It was nice for parents to observe as well so they can help with skills needed for their child.
