Informal PJ Day…We needed it!
I blinked and the term was almost done. I feel like I am behind on everything and bone weary. So are my kids…I bet you are as well. So today, my class paused curriculum and focussed on joy, as well as the Core Competencies. We had a PJ Day and you might need one as well. We are all so tired and this year is so hard, I hope this post inspired you to find some joy-even for just a day.
Functional Closure Part 3: More Digital Resouces
Functional Closure Part 3: More Digital Resources. This post explores a few digital resources that I use (Esti-mysteries, Jam Board, and Book Creator) as well as a few specific apps in Office365 (Sway, Forms, and Word). It will be the last in my digital technology series unless I get specific questions that I feel I can answer. As alway, I hope this is helpful. I know we can make it through this challenging time.
Planning for a Functional Closure? Want to know what it is? Let me help!
Are you planning for a functional closure…or wondering what a functional closure is? This blog post will explain what I know so far and provide some support to educators. I share some of my favourite digital resources and what I am sending home next week so that my students are prepared. We can do this if we support each other!
Return to Work?
Tomorrow many of us go back to work as educators to utter uncertainty. This pandemic has been two hard years and the Omicron variant is pushing the numbers higher. This is my reflection on our current situation and what I am trying to do to find some joy. This is supposed to be hopeful-ish, but mostly it is to let you know that you are not alone. All educators are feeling so many things and we are stronger together.
Finding Joy in Covid Teaching
Teaching double duty this week with six kids in class and twenty something online. It has been a month of dealing with covid in my class. I am working hard to find joy this week through reducing my workload and focusing on my favourites: writing stories and doing art!
