Teachers who do more teambuilding and classbuilding obtain higher academic scores. Teambuilding and classbuilding create relaxed alertness, the ideal state for learning. When students have security and belonging, they are free to engage in higher-level learning. Never has building relationships among students been more critical than when teaching is being delivered in a virtual environment. Failure to address social and emotional needs while children are learning online results in less learning for students. Come learn how to create a supportive classroom community remotely. Provide more nutrients for the brain with energizing classbuilders. Reduce the psychological and emotional distance between classmates and instill in students a sense of belonging. Create a caring, cooperative community of virtual learners. WS# 33739
