Love the idea of show and tell. I worked with a teacher in the past who had a decorated box. Each student had a turn to take the box home and place something special to them in the box. The child would come up with 3 clues about what was in the box. In school they would read the clues and the class would guess what was in the box. At the end the child shared their secret item.

I love the idea of picking a name each week and having the whole class write a letter, drawl a picture or thank/apologize to that one student. Give dedicated time each day to reflect and work on your note.

I liked the suggestion about greeting each child and observing their responses.
I also liked the shout out boxes because I feel this would show the children that they really are “seen” by their peers

I’ve found that listening to music while working in an activity really sets a nice tone for the students to work better in class

I like the mood meter idea in the morning meeting because it gives the teachers a chance to see how the students are feeling without having to share too much. It also lets the teacher know that he/she could check in with the student later to see how their day is going or to make some connection after the meeting.

I think using name tents, with drawings, (especially when working with a new group) will allow you to know what they think is important about them.

I like the idea of appreciation or apology. It gives the students a more informal setting to practice making apologies or showing appreciation.

Even though show and tell is kinda old I still think it’s a great way for students to bring in something from their home so they can tell their peers more about them and what they like.

I love the idea of the 2x10 method. I think it’s a great way for both the student and teacher to build personal relationships with each other, but also provides the opportunity for the student to create a deeper connection with themselves. Confidence and a sense of self can be extremely beneficial for successful learning.

Aha, apology or gratitude resonated with me! Giving students the option to show gratitude, to tell others something they learned or to make amends with others seems very helpful and supportive for all.

Students can have a classroom journal that I provide a prompt and students respond. Students can create a prompt and classmates can respond. Students enjoy writing on large paper, this can be done on chart paper as well.
During bus dismissal time I can chat with kids individually during the down time and make an effort to meet with all students to talk about what they want to discuss

I like to use a reading interest inventory at the start of a new group of students (similar to a get to know you survey). Inventories that use visuals such a smiley faces or thumbs up are great ways to modify responses for primary students to get to know their attitudes about reading.

Daily dedication
Sets a purpose for their learning
Who do you want to give a shout out to?
What will they like about your accomplishment?

I really want to make sure I get to closing circle this year
The appreciation, apology, aha is a quick way to reflect on our day!

I had great success with this method with a challenging student last year. He loved the connection and just sharing his interests with me.

With several groups coming in and out of my classroom each day, I like this approach because it would allow me focus in on specific students in a manageable way.

Choice in school appreciate music for play-a-longs!

Have done this in a variety of settings. Love the idea of an ongoing board to write down gratitudes.

# data[].attributes.body
In an effort to have students feel seen and known as well as feel a sense of belonging. The first day of school students can make make tents. The can write and draw things that they are interested in. While sharing students will develop binds and find things they have in common.

I love the idea of a gratitude Wall. This would be interesting to do at the walker door for kids to see as they arrive and dismiss each day.

Classroom playlists—great for fun and classroom management.

Greeting at the door— quick High five, fist bump check in to greet the class and gauge how the students are feeling

I like the idea from the article of lining the children up in rows of chairs and having them share with each other and then move one seat down to share with a new partner.

Kids love music and they also love to have choice and say in things

Strong, trusting relationships between students and teachers are the key to high-functioning, academically challenging classrooms! This year my goal is continue building meaningful relationships with my kiddos.

Allows students to share about themselves and have a moment of pride and connection. Provides an opportunity for students to see what they have in common, which can help facilitate conversation & interaction.

Loved the idea of Friendly Friday and the Gratitude Wall

# data[].attributes.body
This is a fun activity. I’ve tried this before. It’s a great brain break which helps the class form a bond and identity.

I love the get to know your students. I had a professor say this ALL the time and it really is true to build strong relationships😃

Pick a name for the day and make that day “ all about that student!”

This is a great way to get to know your students in the beginning of the year!

I liked the idea of reflecting with students during a closing circle at the end of day. Give the students a chance to share an “ah-ha” moment or an act of appreciation towards another student during closing circle.

# data[].attributes.body
I plan to use the friendly greetings and make them unique to each student. I believe this helps the student feel seen and unique to the teacher, also a helpful way for the student to feel like they belong.

I love the idea of incorporating Name Tents or All About Me activities into the first few group sessions with my students. It would give us some time to ease into our sessions and for the students to get to know more about their Speech buddies.
