Breaking bread together is an important part of community. At church pot lucks after worship and midweek church dinners, I try to sit with some of my children and their families. And I make a point of visiting with the children, not the parents.
During the stay-at-home-time, I have been writing letters to my students, talking about my favorite Bible stories and sending coloring pages with some of my favorite Bible verses. But I am also sharing a bit about myself, including sharing some of my favorite elephant jokes. 
(I have attached below the doc files that I printed on cardstock to make notecards in case you want to use them.) And a mom texted me a message of thanks for reaching out to her daughter, along with pictures of her illustrated color version of the card I sent.
