Yesterday we played another online board game, Settler’s of Catan, and it was great. I realized that I really do miss my students and wish we were back at school right now. As usual, it’s not the day-to-day teaching that my students or I will remember in the future, it is these special times when we are doing different things that we will remember most.
We found out today that we will be putting in our grades already for the end of the year which tells me that we are preparing to finish out the school year. We still need to continue with the online learning and keep in contact with our students but we will just putting in whether they are passing or giving them an incomplete. So if any student is passing, there is no benefit to them continuing with any content. My biggest fear is that if we do go back to school in May, it will be impossible to get them to do anything.
Later today Rebecca had a Zoom for kids to do some art work and Maya and TJ had a good time doing that. It was interesting to see how a virtual art lesson would work, but it did. There were some prerequisites, everyone needed to have some basic art tools. Rebecca also sent some examples of how to draw in email.
We spent the rest of the day playing Minecraft and that was very relaxing.
