As this new school year begins, it is beginning in a very different way for all of us due to the unforeseen circumstances that we still find ourselves in. Whether you are back F2F, remote or a combination of the two, give yourself grace during this time. If just showing up each day is enough for our students right now, the same goes for you! None of us have ever taught in the middle of a pandemic before and there are going to be some learning curves along the way for new and veteran teachers alike. All we can do is show up each day with a smile on our face (on the screen or under our masks) for our students, because we have and always will be the one thing that remains consistent for most of them.
Do your best day in and day out. That does not mean perfection! That simply means being there each day with your students, learning and growing everyday together.
Take each day as it comes. I know this is easier said than done, but now is a time to truly go with the flow and give each other grace. There is no one right answer here to how we should be teaching, where we should be teaching and when we should be teaching. However, the one thing that I do know is that we should be supporting one another during this time.
I hope that during this time everyone is staying safe, healthy and working together. During this unpredictable time, we all need to be there for one another…Why? For our students! As educators and teachers the main reason we do what we do is because of them. So let’s be there for them and show them that it is all going to be okay.
THANK YOU to all the educators for all that you do on a daily basis! Know that you are doing an AMAZING job and we are so GRATEFUL for you!!!!
As always, I hope that you have found this information useful and helpful to you!
Merci,
Amanda
