I have office hours, but honestly I am working most of the time because there are SO many working parents that need help desperately.  I really need  to stop helping them after 4:00 pm but it is hard to ignore a Remind text at 5 or 6 at night from a parent who is at the end of their rope.

So far I have used class meetings to get to know students.  One thing that the students loved the most was Show and Tell.  They were excited to show me their coin collection or their dog or cat...and I was amazed that all the kids waited so patiently for their turn.

Our online small group, for the moment, is differentiated instruction based on reading levels. I provide the reading wonders leveled material and asynchronous videos that go along with each. Math, currently, is only differentiated through the iReady learning pathway. (when online)

My class meetings are every wed, thurs, Friday as those are my online learning days. During the meetings we chat about fun things until everyone is online and a little after, then we go through the slides for the day to make sure they can access/understand all of the content. It has been very helpful and their getting more done everyday! ~ Stevi Kast

I am full time face to face, with a small class as it is. However, when I do have multiple students that don't understand or are in need of extra help, I also use the available space in the back of the room to meet with students (at an appropriate spacing =)

I have set up "office hours" for parents to know when it would be best to get ahold of me on remind. As for my students, they can talk to me during before school by email, during my prep time, or after school until 5:00 by email.

Since I am a 4/5 split I hold small groups for math. I set up an open space in front of my promethean for each grade level to safely sit in front of (by grade level) so I can teach their perspective grade level math to each group separately.

This was a challenge at first to set up. However, with how my student desks are set up, I am able to work with three to four students in a small group setting. Now that diagnostic data is all completed, I can move students around based on ability to have more appropriate, ability based group discussions. Looking forward to next week when that gets to happen.

During the first three days of remote instruction, I held class meetings every morning with the class where I answered questions, clarified instruction and allowed opportunity for student engagement with each other. Now I am in school teaching every day, so we are having class meetings constantly.

I have not been able to have much of a small group time. I have spent the last 3 weeks trying to get kids to finish their testing. All of my small group time is spent with 1-10 kids doing their iReady test. I am hoping there is a better way to do this in the winter...

My office hours are more flexible than I would like at this point. It depends on when my para is available to interpret for parent. Right now when I can get ANY student to reach out, I drop everything except other students.
I had a really nice phone conversation with a 3rd grader about a week ago. I instructed him through watching his Go Guardian.

The two class meetings that I've had only had one EL student in each. That makes me sad! Tomorrow I have the same two grade levels scheduled and my para has called parents to make sure the ones that really are available know that they need to join us and to let us know if their child isn't available and we will create another time for them.
Fingers crossed!

This is the area I need to define.  So far I have been available majority of the time during the typical school day 9am-3:30pm but this has varied depending on the student/family/situation.  I am finding it hard to not immediately respond to a parent but I am getting better and assigning time later in the day if it is not of an urgent matter.  I think the variety of ways I am available is working for families and I am happy about that.  I have learned it is a balance and I am getting there.

Last spring, I had 2 class meetings a week, Wednesdays and Fridays.  Wednesday was more of a check in to see how they were doing and if they had any questions about their assignments.  They also had an opportunity to share what they have done the past week.  Fridays was "cooking with... or "art with"...  Students got to show me and classmates how they cooked/made their favorite meals.  It was really fun and a great way to get to know my students and each other.  This year, during my remote Wednesdays, I have a check in time for any questions.

Targeted instruction is so important. Last spring, I used hangouts to meet with my students one on one. That was very powerful because they were able to ask questions without others listening. It is important that they feel comfortable so they can be vulnerable. This can be much more challenging in the virtual world.

I am teaching face to face this year so I haven't had to schedule the class meetings at this point. However, last spring when I would have class meetings, it was important to tell the students what we were going to be doing in the slideshow before my meeting started.

I've strictly been on-campus this year, but when I taught remotely I always made time to tutor students as needed. I would always bring up the essential activities that needed to be accomplished for that day in our Zoom meetings. I would have my E.A. meet with small groups of students for Targeted Instruction in lieu of reading groups.

I like to use class meetings a few times a week to let them share their celebrations or concerns. It reinforces the practice of being vulnerable but also being accepted without judgment. It helps students feel more safe when sharing during class instruction. This really helps during "normal" years with recess issues.

After we share, I review the day's schedule and assignments with them, or things that are happening elsewhere such as specials or on the playground. It helps to set the tone for the day and gives students the opportunity to feel valued or express their concerns.
