Every week is in a folder then it is organized by folders for every day. Students know which folder to open for the day.

Same structures as in the classroom:  Learning Objective, Language Objectives and AFL

Wednesday Study sessions for missing work; or independent reading if no missing work

# data[].attributes.body
Check ins are used to start off the class, each period to get the students focused on attending to the class and online learning.

# data[].attributes.body
I teach virtually like I do in the classroom. I do a mini lesson, a catch adn release and worktime, and then I debrief.

# data[].attributes.body
I check for attendance during work time by asking students to raise their hands and random times. It is easy to see who has left the class. You will see a pattern.

# data[].attributes.body
Objectives and Success Criteria posted and read together at the beginning of the class.

# data[].attributes.body
Have a warm up or daily independent activity for students to begin class.

# data[].attributes.body
Talking with students at the beginning of class.  Asking questions about their games, or how their favorite team is doing.  Follow up on things they have told me.  I do this even when we are at school during passing period.

# data[].attributes.body
Independent reading, Google Form reading log, and Flipgrid reflections on Wednesday.

# data[].attributes.body
I begin the class going over objectives and end it by circling back over those objectives with a short exit ticket type of activity at the end

In Schoology any folders that we are working on "right now"  are green so students can follow green folders to get to work if they are late or lost

Having one document in Schoology to catch larger projects/ work-- students go back to the same doc each day and add on. I also make sure the due date is the END of the assignment so that it stays under "upcoming" as long as we are working on it (easier to find for students)

# data[].attributes.body
I ask the kids a different question on Padlet every day and they usually answer with a GIF.

# data[].attributes.body
I use google slides for each week of online learning with each class days agenda on each slide with objectives and what we are working on. Nice way to keep things organized.

# data[].attributes.body
I provide students with the "first 5 minutes for uninterrupted work time. Helps me determine who should work in a small group.

# data[].attributes.body
Every day since day 1, LO and SC are presented in the meeting as they come in, they write those in their notebooks and use as a checklist throughout class, then click on warm up in today's folder and complete a peardeck review of yesterday's lesson. no different that in person. I also always have music playing as they enter class, again, same as at school

I have objectives posted multiple places and keep the structure of class the same as it would be in person (mini lesson, worktime, catch, debrief).

Objectives are revisited throughout the lesson.

Organizing Schoology to minimize folders. Using Current lessons vs Previous Lessons that way kids know where to go. Utilizing the due date system to make long standing projects easier to access in the side bar.

Since day 1, I have asked a this or that "attendance question"... always something fun and easy for every student to answer.

Today my son, who's in 4th grade, was working on a research project.  The teacher put each student in their own breakout room so that they could get work done and she popped in and visited them and got 1:1 time.

Having students answer questions either by turning on their mic, their camera, or typing into the chat

Pear Deck provides me an opportunity to see how kids are doing on an SEL level, allows for student voice, allows me to measure engagement

Color coding slides for teaching, practice, and assessment.

Starting with a "fun" non academic activity.

Trying to hve them talk to peers multile times a week.

# data[].attributes.body
My daily warm ups are focused on social emotional learning and there is a different topic depending on the day. The kids' favorite one, at least based on what they tell me, is Monday meditations - a 3-5 minute meditation to start the class.

# data[].attributes.body
Using the workshop model to frame my lessons, using the chat for a quick check-in, "type YES if ready to move on, NO if you need more time", using exit-slips on Tuesdays and Fridays to get idea of next instructional steps.

Taking a poll at the beginning of class and letting a few students share their answers with the group

# data[].attributes.body
Each day's work is organized in folders for each part of the Workshop Model: warm-up, Mini-lesson (sometimes), worktime, and debrief

# data[].attributes.body
I have been creating Mini Lesson Videos, and embedding them into a Pear Deck Slide when we watch them together as a class, this way students can take notes/ ask questions as the video is playing. I also ask for an idea learned or a leftover question after the video, which students add to the PD slide as well. This way all students in the PD add something to the deck as the mini-lesson is going, it's a good check as well

# data[].attributes.body
Students start the day reading their choice book, and afterwards we discuss a skill (predicting, summarizing, visualizing, etc) or literary element (figurative language, vocab, etc)

Every Tuesday we start class with a mental and emotional health check-in. I create themed powerpoints for the week with gifs that represent between 10-12 different moods/emotions and share my screen in the meet. Students pick one or two moods/emotions that best sum up how they are feeling that day/week and enter the corresponding number in the chat. I choose themes that are relevant to them/their interests, like Stranger Things, Among Us, etc., and definitely include some humor. We spend a few minutes talking about our choices and what we are doing to take care of our mental and emotional well-being. I have had high levels of engagement with this ritual.

# data[].attributes.body
I have been making "work rooms". I create a break out room where I send students who are not responding, stopped working, or have not opened the work. Then I can focus on my working kids and check in with those not participating.

# data[].attributes.body
I start every class with having the kids share something they want everyone to know about. Most of them want to share sometimes. Then I have student work on the warm-up, then get to the lesson and practice.

# data[].attributes.body
Students always go to Typing club first to practice while I take attendance.  I am able to watch them "live" and I've found that they do so much more when I praise them during this warm-up.  Badges, effort, following instructions, calling their name.  They eat it up.

# data[].attributes.body
We always have a warm up showing for the students to work on as soon as they enter class. We try for it to be something fun and not academic.

Polls used for warm ups and check ins at beginning of class and for an exit ticket

Question in polls while taking attendance. Can be random or related to content. Let's students connect and chat for a few min while entering room and is a nice ice breaker and part of community and class building.

If you think about this as a radio show, it won't make you feel so bad about not seeing or hearing from your students.

# data[].attributes.body
Routine to incorporate is having a question or task (fun, warm up, content related) at the beginning of class to ensure that they are staying engaged in the class from the beginning and not walking away from the computer waiting for others to join.

# data[].attributes.body
I've been focusing on is utilizing the learning and language objectives at the beginning of class and revisiting them throughout the lesson by posting them into chat.
