I did a lot of class building at the beginning with the kids! So they would do a sheet with things like "Christmas vs Halloween" and either or questions that I would do as well. The kids you have a lot in common with automatically feel closer and you learn so much about each student while also joining in.

Students had "invitations" they could fill out for upcoming events they were participating in. I attended basketball games, recitals, theater productions, etc. outside of school - they really liked knowing their teacher would take time (outside of the school day) to see them involved in their personal interests.

I used time to make personal connections with individual kids when I provided feedback on Seesaw. I also think the opportunities for sharing with pet shows, art shows, games, show and tell helped my kids build relationships with me and each other. I think the most important strategy was parent connections. Calling and talking with parents and being available to them when they needed help made such a difference, especially for my parents who were essential workers.
