Utilize first few minutes when students arrive to talk to the early ones, always allow students to stay behind in your room if they have lunch or study hall next, and last few minutes of class (if you have time that day), use as a time to float around and see what's going on in students' lives

I'm constantly interacting with my students as they walk into my classroom. I also incorporate a variety of activities in my every day class where students get up and move around to interact with one another

I sing and dance with my classes and sing Happy Birthday in Spanish to each of them on their birthdays. They also get to choose from the "Authentic Bag" of goodies. It contains many different cultural things, such as Guatemalan worry dolls, key chain maracas, etc. I also attend many of their events outside of school.

I often times do "fish bowl Friday".  I have students put a question in a Fishbowl and we take turns answering questions around the room.
