WOW, how the world has changed since my last post.

So I went home on a Friday thinking all was well and hoping to see everyone and BAM. The world was turned upside down and I had to learn how to teach online.

It has been a big learning curve for me and many other teachers. I want to stop and thank you all for your support in this process. I will do everything I can to make sure your students get to keep on learning. They have all progressed this year and we want that growth to continue.

I will try to have fun with them during my videos and change things up as much as I can to make sure they stay engaged.

They can watch the videos over and over that will help them internalize the learning. Repetition is very important for all of our students.

I became a teacher because I love to be around students, to interact with them to support them and to contribute to their growth as wonderful human beings. I believe that they are all capable of learning and it is up to teachers everywhere to accept Nero-diversity and find ways to reach each and every student.

I miss interacting with your children, I miss the smiles the laughter and I miss the challenge of everyday emotions that we work through in learning to do new tasks. I miss seeing the pride on their face when they complete a task and the joy of celebrating with them.

Please Celebrate the little things every day and every lesson. Let them know we all think they are GREAT and that I am joyfully at every attempt. There is no such thing as failure in my class only a chance to learn and try again.

You Can Do IT, Yes You Can.
