Routines and functions play a key role in creating connections in a typical classroom setting.

Make it
possible for students to continue to practice, perform, and experience these routines at home! Virtual
morning (or afternoon) meetings and encounters using web-based conferencing tools like Zoom or
Google Hangouts are one way to regularly bring students together for activities like hosting check-in
circles, engaging in social-emotional learning, or engaging in radical group mindfulness practice training.
In the event that a student is unable to attend, you can suggest that they compose a message to their
classmates in advance that you can share with them at the meeting.
