Teaching During COVID 19

Monday, April 6, 2020 No comments


Good Morning, this week our district embarks on its second week of school shut down and no students in our hallways.  We take each and everyday as a opportunity to reconnect with our students, support educators in anyway we can, and learn a new strategy for online learning.

Over the last week we have learned to lead from the heart and be compassionate towards one another.  We are better, stronger, and more resilient together. I wanted to utilize this time to encourage ALL to come together, work together and understand that now is the ultimate time when communication collaboration and working together as a team is essential.

With that being said, I wanted to share a few uplifting videos and pictures along with some amazing free resources that I have come across this past week that not only help me professionally but also personally with my 17, 14, and 6 year old as we home-school.


Throughout this journey we have to remember to lead from the heart, love one another, and show compassion.. all at a distance for sure.

With that being said, I will be using this post to share the journey.
We love and miss you and we will see each other soon. :D

April is National Autism Month, On Thursday April 2nd we did a staff virtual LIGHT IT UP BLUE with our staff via zoom.





Thank you to the class that invited me to be a guest reader to their virtual classrooms. I love seeing our students faces as much as possible.
