      <link>https://padlet.com/hunterj12/ucnq8zuul5skdpl</link>
      <description>We would like each person from each department to post within their department tab an ice breaker or something you do to get to know your students better and to build community with them. </description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>We have used this icebreaker/weekly check in with Advisory students for many years now.  You can specify any length of time (this summer, this week, today) and specific topic.  Examples of the latter might include a focus on academics, relationships, or technology.  I also give students the option of opting out if they would like and often model for them by starting the sharing.<br>- Mike S.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I have used restorative circles in the past in which we use a toy/stuffed animal (with a name, of course) which is gently tossed around the room from one student to the next.  The recipient contributes.  We could still have the toy but students would throw it virtually.  This could be useful to allow students a chance to get to know each other (summer activity) or as an opportunity for the students to discuss their thoughts on the new school year.

Students meeting in person can draw their emoji on paper and hold it up. (This is also a great option for students in a video classroom.)</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><strong>Virtual high fives!</strong> Instruct students to find students they can see they have something in common with, such as they’re both wearing Nikes, have on green shirts, or wear glasses. Tell students to point out the similarity to the fellow student and then exchange virtual high fives. The high five should be touch-free even if students are in person. This can work with that icon in Zoom.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I learned this icebreaker at the IL retreat and loved using it in my classes! You buy a beach ball and write 1-30 (or whatever number). Throw the ball to a kid. Wherever their thumb lands, they tell you the number closest to it. You ask a question corresponding to that number. Will have to be edited this year since I can't use the beach ball! :(</div>]]></description>

         <title>In my Journalism classes, we work on the art of the interview and discuss how to ask questions that open up conversation rather than ending in one word answers. Fun questions:  If you were on a desert island and could only bring one food group, what would you bring? If you could have 3 people in your lifeboat, who would they be? </title>

I ask students to answer specific questions that help them introduce themselves to me and tell me about their interests &amp; learner background. <br><br>It is SO helpful to get a quick snapshot of students writing style/abilities and personalities right from the very first day. It also helps students get to know you as both a person and a teacher.<br><br>- Charlotte </div>]]></description>

         <title>I have students record a two minute FlipGrid video; I submit one as well. I make up fun prompts and have them choose three. Next, I ask them comment on at least 5 videos of other students in which they have a shared interest. Here are some examples:</title>

It works because the students don't have to reveal too much of themselves to a group they don't know and might not be comfortable with yet.

         <description><![CDATA[<div>In my U.S. History classes in the past, I would give students an event  and, not allowing them to look it up, have them try to place themselves in the order of the events that they believe is correct.  This puts them in the position of having to meet their classmates, work together to accomplish a goal, and start to familiarize themselves with some important events in our history.  While the activity cannot be played out the same way, there may be a way to do it virtually.</div>]]></description>

         <title>This might sound unoriginal, but sometimes I ask students to tell the class about something they have read or written that they still think about years later.  It gives me a tag by which to remember names and also starts our first discussion about books and writing that have an impact and why.  For Texts and Contexts, I might include film in the list. </title>

Then, I'll pair the students up and have them create a slide deck about a peer in the class and present it to the class. These presentations usually take about a minute TOPS! Therefore, this should take one class period. This helps students get to know their peers, helps build classroom rapport, encourages silliness and lightheartedness, and helps me learn about my students! </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Start a discussion about something pop culture related that is a current topic. Past examples are 'Tiger King' and 'Outer Banks.' Even if a student has not seen 'Outer Banks,' for example, most will still have an opinion on it and want to share it to the class. If you are unfamiliar/do not understand a topic, you could always ask them to explain it. The Tik Tok house(s) are, in my opinion, an easy topic that could be used with this approach. Although you may feel lost at times, I do think that questions and discussions around pop culture topics can be extremely helpful in getting to know students.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Have every student go around the room and state their name. Then, assign each student a number (each number should be unique). Once everybody has a number, the teacher will start the game by calling a student's name and saying "Before", "After", or "Anyone".That student then states the name of the student whose number comes before or after theirs (depending on what the teacher indicated), or they can name anyone. The pattern continues this way.<br><br>It's a great name-learning activity. While it doesn't have students saying too much about themselves, it's an quick and fun way for everyone to familiarize themselves with their classmates!</div>]]></description>
