Thank you all ! Your remarkable! Remote teaching was an adventure for children and adults alike.
Mr. O'Gara your workouts had us all up and moving followed by your brilliant choices for read aloud. My kids looked forward to their time with you. Your a true Renaissance Man.
Ms. K making art with you was so peaceful, uplifting and affirming. You made time for each child and made their work feel special. they would often show me in our zoom that followed you.
Mr. Williams music over the internet was surprising to me! Your choices for programing the sessions were awesome. You planted the beginning of music appreciation in 3 - 4 yr old's. Unbelievable it was remote.
Mr. Jeffries- Your joy for what you do was infectious to us all. Those children and some adults really moved to your direction. It was fun listening to your back n forth with the children. Thanks for the work out routine!

I am eternally grateful to have had you with me in remote land.

Ms. Bernard stepped in when I really needed help. It would have been so easy and understandable for her to turn away but she didn’t.

Shout out to Ms CameronLee for always willing and working with coworkers to get all of the support that’s available for our students. She’s always collaborating with colleagues for ideas/support for our class. We know that virtual learning is a different way of learning but she makes it look so easy. She’s always  encouraging students to keep trying their best at whatever the task may be. She also made sure every student did the Map assessment despite the many challenges that occurred on that day (technology
issues) yes she walked many through the steps to get past the blockers that hindered them for accessing the assessment. Ms CameronLee you ROCK!!!!! You’re the 💣 bomb!!!! Thank you... I appreciate working with you!!!
