Just a quick check in works well! I feel like people just jump into content so quick sometimes, myself included, but the kiddos appreciate just chatting for a few. Or showing things around their house!

Students get WAY more engaged in the lesson if we start with a warm up that involves critical thinking that isn’t obviously related to the content (rude). For example, doing one or two Which One Doesn’t Belong, maybe one that is related to math and another that isn’t, really get the kids involved. And that translates to the lesson.
