Have you checked in with your students? 

Morning Circle/Meetings: Please ensure you are checking in with students and facilitating daily class meetings. Morning meetings help build a positive classroom community, foster a sense of belonging, practice social-emotional skills, set the tone for the day, and can improve student engagement and academic success by providing a safe space for students to connect with each other.
