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!
Connected!

So so exciting to hear! Did you chat on Microsoft teams or Canvas conference? I so want to chat with my students. I love how you listed all the talk topics, including stuffed animals! Take care and hope to catch up with you again soon.

I used Microsoft Teams. You can only see four people at a time, but it worked fine. You take care, too!

Wonderful, Jan! You are ambitious to do each group separately. But it’s a nice way to send them off to Spring Break!
