Until Next Time...

For obvious reasons, I have not written as much these past few days. Primarily, we haven't had class with students and there have been a few things going on around town.

I took this picture of my front white board...

Every day, I write the date for the next class day, plus whether it's an A or B day. I wrote this particular information down on Thursday, March 12. We had parent-teacher conferences and staff development on the 13th, and have not had students since. So as I sit here and type this before I leave my room, I can't help but wonder when I will next change that information. I know I could have erased it and left it blank, but I want to see just how long the gap ends up being between days spent with actual students.

There's been a lot of time, energy, thought and effort put into expanding and enhancing out Distance Learning efforts for our students these past few days. Honestly, I'm not 100% sure how things will go. I do know I'm optimistic, and I truly believe our students will rise to the occasion and make the most out of the situation. I also know that more than ever, the kids need to find balance between the school work, family time, getting movement & exercise, finding new or reinvigorating old passions, and just taking care of themselves!

I hope to continue writing and reflecting as we go through this weird journey together. Although it'll be different, I'm sure there will be just as much material to build off of as before. The rest of this week is a hiatus and planning week, followed by Spring Break next week. Then, fully leaning into Distance Learning as best we can. Until then, stay safe and healthy everyone!
