We headed back to school today. (Just for teacher meetings.) To say that I feel like my head may explode would be an understatement 😂🤦‍♀️
I know how to teach...that’s not the problem. The problem is knowing how to teach during a pandemic, on an A/B schedule, planning for in-school days and remote days, etc. I hate feeling like I don’t know what I’m doing😬 I know we will figure it out though...just keeping swimming.

No matter what are feelings are on the situation, we need remember to stay positive for our students.

If you’ve been in a classroom for more than 30 seconds, you know that kids move their desks around constantly. Even if they don’t mean to, they shift throughout the day.
💚I put a Velcro dot under each desk in hopes that they can try and keep their desk centered over it. This way we can try to stay socially distanced.
