It seemed a sad ghost town when I went to my classroom yesterday -- my one visit for the month (no more than 5 teachers allowed in the building at a time, keeping at least 6' away from each other, and bleach wipes in hand). I usually crave time at home to relax and recover from all the things, but I actually felt a pang of missing our in-person learning space when I walked into this long-empty room that had been newly cleaned up with freshly-hung bulletin board posters and displays of books for our new units of study. The place sits unused and silent. Sigh... The realist in me is planning for all possibilities, but I do hope that we might be together as a class to hear each others' voices and laughter and to ask questions and have discussions in real-time before this school year concludes. As for today, finish up your C&E on "The Reformation." You don't have to submit this now; hang onto it to be discussed soon. Also, do a quick journal entry. ; )Wednesday, April 8, 2020
