We will have meaningful conversations with all of our students. Sometimes just talking with the class and talking about whatever they bring up can create great conversations and lead to knowing your students better. It also gives the students a chance to talk about what they want to discuss, rather than always having something set to discuss. It has worked very well for our students in 6B!

Let the social aspect of bringing students together "breathe." Let kids get to know each other as people, in person. We will try to let go of our assumptions of students from virtual learning.

We will work on engaging our students in dynamic activities to help them build their confidence back up when in a classroom community.

Celebrate student successes in regards to many different qualities. We talked a lot about how building student's confidence helps to make them feel success and be an active
member of their crew.

We are going to continue to intentionally make connections with students at the beginning of class ("kids before content"), especially as the next few weeks of transitions with hybrid groups of students take place.

We talked a lot today about using the same sentence starters for conversations and discussions in our classrooms. Scaffolding conversations to give students a place to start.

# data[].attributes.body
Most of our conversation centered around conversations: allowing students to engage in authentic conversations in class, discussing the importance of setting goals and understanding the importance of time mangagement, finding ways for students to have voice and agency over their learning and dialoge.

Try to include excellence of all students and ability levels throughout the school year into our units. Make it so it just happens naturally, rather than just a "Black History Month" thing. Keep lessons more student led and students learning from each other by play, rather than direct instruction from the teacher.

# data[].attributes.body
We have made equity in our classrooms a priority this year- we will continue to look for ways to "ignite" our students while remaining focused on our end goal. Looking for activities and projects that can accomplish both is our next months focus.

# data[].attributes.body
We would like to be more intentional in "igniting" our lessons and be more inclusive in our language. We will try to use the languages of our students in greeting them and making connections to them.

# data[].attributes.body
Find a way to "ignite" or make a relevant connection to the 6th grade life. "You will need this in 7th grade math" isn't very convincing for some.

Add in more call and response and chanting protocols to what we are already doing. Consider adding in unstructured processing time.

# data[].attributes.body
Be conscientious about giving students processing time. Look into using songs to help students remember key information (strategically use elaboration).

# data[].attributes.body
Not jump to assumptions about students. As we move forward into book groups, look at ways to help students independently and collaboratively work toward a growth mindset.

# data[].attributes.body
Be intentional and explicit with how we continue to grow our students' mindset. AND, model how we are trying to grow as well and take risks. We are learners, too, and students can benefit from our honesty.

# data[].attributes.body
Continue to build community and creating a safe space in our virtual classrooms so students feel safe to engage.

Failures are opportunities for growth. Take a look at how we structure warm ups and other PE procedures to help students have a choice and feel success in PE. Things are not always how they appear. Implementing more individual goal setting and reflections.

With hybrid coming, we have the chance to "set" our expectations where we want them to be, while still nurturing our learners a balance between emotional support and academic support.

We are working to provide better, more constructive feedback that gives reasonable action and timeframe.

Stop saying, "Good job!" and practice giving more quality feedback to students.

Practice becoming a better at "tough love" even when it is hard to give that out.

We are going to take time during class to just "talk" with our students. Hopefully this build upon our relationship and will help students navigate through tough situations. Allowing us to build a better alliance!

We are going to try to develop structured "ally" time with specific students. Break up the group with certain team members to meet regularly.

We are working to become more aware of our culture and experiences and how those have shaped our expectations while also pausing before judgement in understanding student responses in situations that might be different from what we grew up with.

Checking our own "apeture" when interacting with students. Often times, when something is "off" we are forced to analyze the situation based on the limited amount of information we have. It may not be possible to fully comprehend a situation based on the information we have at hand.

Tracking compliments and prizes so we can ensure we are recognizing all students' value and contributions in the classroom. Continuing to showcase high expectations (college, academic performance) and including diverse examples of successful professionals in our respective content areas.

Recognize and acknowledge the uncertainty we are all feeling. Knowing that the threat of uncertainty can contribute to hijacked emotions on both students and teachers.

We will observe rather than react to what is going on. Strive to process the scenario and pause to reflect.

Continue using Chaz as a resource to guide us in connecting with the families. We have started and will continue doing a extra help/work time in the afternoon which for a selected group of students. This is created by looping in the families, the student and us teachers.

Start making time to get to know students, especially those who are often absent, during class.

Start being reflective of how our past experiences (even with other students) have built our biases and learning to recognize them.

Being direct, and being warm demanders.

Asking students what they are looking forward to and having "little chats" sparks conversation about what is happening in their lives. I know it makes an impact when students start commenting on connections about what someone shares out.
