Classroom Community Back to School starting from the Heart!

3-5· 6-8· All Freebies· PK-2

If you are distance learning and looking for some classroom community ideas here’s a round up of back to school virtual community building ideas.

BUILD CLASSROOM COMMUNITY DAY 1 WITH FREE LESSON PLANS AND IDEAS!

Use this great framework to help plan your first days of school distance learning.

Positive relationships and building a classroom community is an entire focus and a list of ideas of how to do that from Day 1 if you are distance learning.

CLASSROOM COMMUNITY BUILDING THROUGH FAMILIES

Connecting with students starts with families even before the school year starts!

A great way to begin a positive student (and family!) relationship is to send a postcard – or have available for pickup if families pick up supplies/books.

Below is a FREE Editable one you can use. It’s even tech-themed! Change the picture, add a QR code, change the topics to ones relevant to you!

CLASSROOM COMMUNITY THROUGH READ ALOUDS

These two books are amazing back to school books. Record ahead and send to families or read on a Zoom or Google Meet call with students.

Books are a familiar part of school so a read aloud is fostering student connection, building social emotional for distance learning and more.
