We started off class with a pep talk from Kid President. Then we created a word wall and related it back to our positive classroom community.

The students created their own expectations for themselves and their peers while we are on Zoom. They gave their ideas and I turned it into a little poster.

# data[].attributes.body
After each day I place students names by 'role models' that demonstrate the zoom expectations we came up with together, giving them a shout out but also letting others know who they can look to if they need to know what they should be doing or what they should look like.

Each of my small groups have chosen (or will be choosing) a folder where I will hold all of their papers and information. The animal folder that they choose is their group team name! The groups I’ve done it with have had fun so far!

Sharing a 1st grader's screen via Zoom to walk the student through how to find a "lost Epic app" to creating Seesaw activities with response choices embedded to allow for student voice... Doing whatever was necessary to lift up our students and welcome them into their new school year! This week was filled with surprises and solutions and smiles!

# data[].attributes.body
We created a class chant that states what we strive to be in our classroom!

# data[].attributes.body
Many of my students and parents have reached out about GetEpic not working outside of school hours. Because of this, on Monday I am going to introduce my students to the Schaumburg library e-resources and how to register for a library card!

Every Friday we will post what we love about our school, class, friends, specials, etc. I am super excited about this new tradition!

We created expectations as a class and they did amazing! Go TEAM 219!

While my students worked on their art sketchbook covers, I played some relaxing music. A lot of students really enjoyed it, so I shared the link in their google classrooms and some are using it to focus on other work too!

# data[].attributes.body
Myself, other staff, but most importantly - THE STUDENTS, spend the last 5 minutes of the day shouting each other out for positive behavior, participation, and successes.  We love the warm and fuzzy feelings that comes from peer and teacher recognition! :) It always ends our day on a positive note.

Our Inspire class decided on agreements, all of which were decided on by the students. After sharing their ideas, they signed a shared document with their own custom virtual signature.

I used something like this on the first couple days of meeting with small groups as they were logging onto zoom. It was just a simple, easy way for students to make sure they were on the correct link (and I wanted them to see a colorful welcome since I only get to see them for 15-30 mins a day) but they turned out loving that they could "take" their own attendance! It makes them happy just to see their names.

Last Monday, we celebrated the end of our first day together with a big cheer. I turned it into a gif that I now share in every morning meeting to remind them of the excitement we shared (in case they ever forget).

We also do a team huddle at the end of every day to highlight the positives of the day and send everyone off, although I have yet to capture that in a photo.

# data[].attributes.body
I wanted students to know they are all a star in their each unique way. I created this for my room in order to remind myself even if they aren't in the room with me that Stars Shine here.

# data[].attributes.body
I created this Padlet to share FAQs with students. This allows students to ask and answer questions!

# data[].attributes.body
Each Friday, all of the sixth grade classrooms come together to play a game, watch a news segment made by their teachers (inspired by SomeGoodNews), and end the week on a high note.

# data[].attributes.body
I give my kiddos these 4 choices to say hello and goodbye each day!

# data[].attributes.body
I still give the class stamps to celebrate them participating as a class/following directions/following the 3 Bs, etc. When they fill up the whole chart they will choose a class celebration.

# data[].attributes.body
Students pick a personal cheer we can use to greet them as well as celebrate them throughout our group time!

# data[].attributes.body
During our morning meeting, my students share with the class their favorites everyday. (animal, color, book, food, etc.)

# data[].attributes.body
At the end of every P.E. class, 3 students share a positive or good thing that they saw someone do or accomplish in class. Then we all take part in a mindful minute breathing exercise before they move on to their next class.

# data[].attributes.body
Allowing students to post artwork they made AT ANY TIME to the padlet to share and like with others!

# data[].attributes.body
We created our class agreements together. The students came up with their own agreements for themselves and their classmates. They gave me their ideas and everyone voted which of the agreements they wanted for our class.

# data[].attributes.body
We as a grade level created a class chant that we say before lunch and before the end of the day to promote positive thinking and a sense of family.

# data[].attributes.body
I had each student come up with an extra way to be safe, respectful, or responsible during their orchestra lesson. We already read through a few examples (that I wrote) as a group, but I wanted to have them create their own standards for behavior during lessons.

# data[].attributes.body
My 8th grade advocacy picked “One Word” that will be their foundation for the school year. I share this slide every morning in Advocacy to remind them of their goals and let them know we work as a team!

We read a story about showing kindness to one another and created a list of things we can do to show kindness in our classroom:)

I don't have a picture, but we have an (optional) end of the day dance party. Some of the parents have even participated during the dance party. It's just a fun way to end the day and be silly together.

Trying to have students participate as a whole group as much as possible

I took a picture of each of my classes on our first day of school to show that we are all in this together and to remember this crazy start!

Reverting back to the whiteboard when your cool technology lesson fails to load! Kids actually enjoyed the lesson because it was something familiar :)

Our year is sports themed at our school so we came up with some "TEAM" agreements as a class: Try our best, Every moment counts, Accountability, and Model the 3 B's. We then decided to celebrate our team is going to work toward a touchdown every week! I have the agreements and our "field" with a picture of us to move toward our goal behind me every day.

# data[].attributes.body
We created our classroom agreement together. At material pickup students were given a yellow strip of paper. After creating the agreement together I had the students decorate with their name. Snipping each one to make a sunshine. Each day we go over it!
