Everyone is very good about following safety protocols. It's nice to see students and staff who are in the building respecting the guidelines and each other.
I also have a elder son whom is 12 and in the 7th grade public school. Since the virus has closed schools I have both of my kids home and my eldest is on the computer to die his public schooling now. We have just moved and since the beginning of October wifi has been so spotty that he has missed many days. If it wasn't the wifi service it was one of the many apps that they have to go through to get into class. It's very different from the normal I'm just having to take my eldest son out and into the Homeschool to not take I feel lik3

Hoping sincerely that we don't have to go to remote. Fingers crossed.
Thanks for sharing. What adjustments and safety precautions did your school put in place?
We've been through our first wave of having kids at home on quarantine. I've also tested positive and isolated, teaching from home during that time because I was basically asymptomatic. That was the biggest challenge: managing a sub, in class learners, and remote learners all from my basement without getting to go to my classroom! I'm in a small rural school in Iowa.
wow. keep at it! :)
Thanks! Still going strong here. Have you been in person?
The technology piece was the biggest struggle trying to get all my students connected and teach them how to use the devices and the programs virtually. Helping support my students is another struggle because of unstable internet connections, inadequate speakers, lack of digital tools, and other reasons. I try to reach out to all my students to make sure they are able to access the materials they need. I communicate closely with families to make sure they have the resources they need. Sometimes I forget to take care of me though.
I feel your pain Icosta as I’ve been doing virtual teletherapy since March as I live in New York City. It does get better, but eight live sessions a day plus posting on Google classroom and handling all the E paperwork is extremely exhausting and it’s very difficult to take care of yourself as well. Try to paste yourself so you don’t burn out and learn a little bit at a time. This is a learning experience for all of us, so please take it one day at a time and reach out for Resources From this community and others
Online meaning they can get on whenever and do assignments we have put on google classroom. Our school only had computers for grades 3-5. Hot spots were supposed to be provided but haven't started yet and we heard when they do come in the bus will only stay at the location for ten minutes, so the interactive materials we have put on line will not be able to be used. Right now we have shut down for two weeks for evaluation of students returning after the quarter. Hopefully we can get the kinks out.
Every school in our district has a different format for how that is working. At my school, almost every teacher is doing both at the same time; all while learning a new platform. It has been challenging and stressful!
Materials have been translated into English, Spanish and French and include lesson plans, games and live workouts! https://www.bokskids.org/boks-at-home/
I'm fortunate to have a fantastic co-teacher who is patient, supportive and technologically saavy. I also receive a great deal of support from my administrators, teaching team of our alternative program and school counselors.
