I use the down time to chit chat https://padlet.com/sthompson177/6ifx87qavimaqxow/wish/733261104 2020-09-09 23:13:12 UTC https://padlet.com/sthompson177/6ifx87qavimaqxow/wish/733261104 cmagallanes6 https://padlet.com/sthompson177/6ifx87qavimaqxow/wish/733267345 We have been doing shares or mini activities at the start of class. ]]> 2020-09-09 23:17:51 UTC https://padlet.com/sthompson177/6ifx87qavimaqxow/wish/733267345 Students outside of homeroom is a little more challenging to make 1:1 connections. We sometimes chat before class begins and students are filing in. Or during second session I may ask "other" questions https://padlet.com/sthompson177/6ifx87qavimaqxow/wish/733276526 2020-09-09 23:24:24 UTC https://padlet.com/sthompson177/6ifx87qavimaqxow/wish/733276526 I do "morning meeting" activities/shares with them. I allow some "talk story" time before and after class. https://padlet.com/sthompson177/6ifx87qavimaqxow/wish/733278330 2020-09-09 23:25:37 UTC https://padlet.com/sthompson177/6ifx87qavimaqxow/wish/733278330 https://padlet.com/sthompson177/6ifx87qavimaqxow/wish/733283063 The first week we began class with a share. Now, we often begin class by just chatting with students about their weekends, interests, etc. When we are in smaller group settings, we are able to get to know students on a deeper level. We have also tried out breakout rooms for students to develop those connections in a safer, lower-risk environment. ]]> 2020-09-09 23:29:00 UTC https://padlet.com/sthompson177/6ifx87qavimaqxow/wish/733283063 I do an "attendance question" at the start of class where everyone answers a question about their personal interests or choices they would make in a given situation. Also adding their personal interests into their independent work when possible. landerson177 https://padlet.com/sthompson177/6ifx87qavimaqxow/wish/733299628 2020-09-09 23:40:20 UTC https://padlet.com/sthompson177/6ifx87qavimaqxow/wish/733299628 We write journal entries and offer shares at the beginning of class that gives a lot of insight to students personal interests, experiences, feelings, and thoughts. https://padlet.com/sthompson177/6ifx87qavimaqxow/wish/733333978 2020-09-10 00:02:24 UTC https://padlet.com/sthompson177/6ifx87qavimaqxow/wish/733333978 gbridgman https://padlet.com/sthompson177/6ifx87qavimaqxow/wish/733334058 We have been doing "get to know you" activities with the classes in our cohort. Having them create vision and process boards, and playing 
games. ]]> 2020-09-10 00:02:27 UTC https://padlet.com/sthompson177/6ifx87qavimaqxow/wish/733334058 Spending time with students in math and having casual talk with them during down-time or independent work. https://padlet.com/sthompson177/6ifx87qavimaqxow/wish/733360764 2020-09-10 00:17:47 UTC https://padlet.com/sthompson177/6ifx87qavimaqxow/wish/733360764
