Day: March 31, 2020

I held video chats today with my students, and it made me so happy! The explicit purpose was to bring closure to the unit we had been working in when school closed, but the real purpose was to simply connect. Yes, we talked about theme and character, but we also talked about dogs, skateboarding, lunch, little sisters, and stuffed animals. It put a spring in my step and calmed my nerves. I’m going to do it again tomorrow – five more chats to go!
