Great advice from lots of smart people here. I agree that the relationships are the most important piece to your puzzle. Just like you can get to know your students better, how about letting them get to know about you?
Could you do a fun powerpoint all about you? Dig up some photos of when you were their age and focus on some details of when you were in MS. Hobbies, favorite foods, favorite songs, movies, candy bar, ice cream flavor. 
Help them find something to connect to.
You can give them a surprise quiz of all the details before you do the power point. 
Maybe they can all take turns presenting themselves to the class along similar parameters like favorites: song, ice cream flavor, article of clothing, color, etc. 
It could bond everyone as a class too.

Also, OP, I'm sure there are a few students that look to you a a source of stability in their lives. Please focus on the kids who you know look for you everyday. You are so important to them. Remember, just by showing up day after day, you are teaching all of your students.
