They kept telling us to be ready to pivot to online learning at any given moment. Well that moment was this afternoon and I’m not at all ready.
Daily Musings 44 “ready to pivot”
Daily Musings 42
Learned yesterday that report cards are due on Monday. I’ve known my 25 students for less than 3 weeks.
Daily Musings 41 – #Imlibrarypeople
It’s Canadian Library Month and I’m missing my favourite place.
Daily Musings 40 “settling in”
My students love to dance. I love to dance too so this gives me great joy. Kindergarten, Covid-19 style is a pretty sad first experience of school, but it is what it is and the little ones know no better.
Daily Musings 38 “I snapped”
Later, I snapped at my students and made a munchkin cry. Poor thing was visibly upset when her grownup picked her up after school. She told her grownup that the teacher hurt her. 😔 I told her grownup that I did hurt her. I hurt her feelings 😭

Mad. Outraged. And then I hear their story and I soften.

Plan but don’t hold your breath.
Daily Musings 29 – 20 years
After living in my mother’s basement for most of the past 20 years, I move to my first ‘own’ home in a few days.
Daily Musings 28 – Friday night
And so it’s Friday night and even though I wanted to binge on some ‘True Blood’, I’m sitting here planning and eating chocolate because I won’t be able to sleep otherwise.
Daily Musings 26 – They need me
I heard so many bad things about the class I’ve just inherited and wasn’t sure I was up for the challenge. And yet, here I am today reflecting on our extremely busy, but good day and I couldn’t be more thankful that I’m all those Black and Brown babies teacher.
