#NCBTChat A5. Logging into class earlier/ staying later to chat with kids one on one if they want to chat. Also, making sure we are talking about their worries and what they are excited about. Continuing to build relationships.
#NCBTChat A3. I ask for student input. After each skill, I survey students and ask what they understood well, what tools are we using that are beneficial and which are not, what do they need me to cover again. This help put them in charge of their learning.
#NCBTChat A2. I utilize fun writing prompts as a "smart stop" to practice writing, but also to get to know them. I ask questions like "If you could have a theme song, what would it be? How does it represent you as a person?". I also share my responses.
@AmyLaughter It really just depends. I have just sent a simple "hello, you are missed" postcard. I sent candy for Valentine's Day. I run a participation challenge for my online learners. They earn a point each time they contribute to the class conversation, so the winner gets a mailed prize.
@Burneygang I also use the Remind App and I find it useful, even if it is not as creative because it is similar to texting. This is very helpful for my high school students and their parent's because it is how they communicate.
These North East Carolina Prep School Senior Beta Club members are traveling to Savannah to represent North Carolina in the National Senior Beta Convention. We are so proud of them and look forward to seeing what new memories and new friends they make this week. @nationalbeta
