A challenge that I faced would be multiple technology issues for both myself and students but because I am resourceful I was able to work through those issues and provide learning opportunities for my students.

 I posted an individual assignment for the students to complete and everyone had access. I turned it into a collaborative activity instead.

A challenge I had this week was stepping away from the computer balance work/home life. I had to pray and be mindful of taking care of home while at home.

I have ALOT of students and they pretty much all come to meetings. I wasn't getting them to be involved and the first two days felt like CRAZiNESS. I am great at self reflection and moving myself toward solutions (not great at taking advice from others). So I rearranged my schedule, made small groups the space we did real work and Wednesday and Thursday were so much better.

I used my strengths to help my team use technology in ways they had never tried before. I used screencastify to share the how to.

A challenge I had this week was fitting everything into our new schedule with the quick pace and technology questions. I think my strength that helped me this week is staying positive and flexible and really letting my kids drive the pace based on their needs and questions.

# data[].attributes.body
A challenge that I've had this week is after lunch engagement with students, they will log back on, but just not fully engaged and just kind of there.
My strength to push through helped me through it, because even though I wasn't receiving the engagement I would've liked to see I continue to brainstorm ways to get that engagement and participation from students.

# data[].attributes.body
A challenge I had was taking care of myself and finding a time to turn it off when at home. Tam's email reminded me to get up and exercise, walking has certainly helped reduce some stress!

# data[].attributes.body
Technology for sure but we pulled together as a specialist team and figured out solutions to make it better!

Challenge this week was helping to ensure that structures that were in place were beneficial to teams. The strength of active listening helped see me through it.

Flexibility & Patience

Several of my students were having connectivity issues this week. It's frustrating when activities don't work on their end and they miss pieces of the lesson b/c they have to restart/refresh a tab. My strength of patience and positivity helped me a lot because allowing the frustration to show would only spill over to my student's attitudes, so we just pushed through and did our best.

It's not easy trying to work at home and share time with your babies at the same time. I'm glad to have my husband's help but it's so much sometimes. Technology has been also so challenging but the learning of it has been so meaningful as well for my teaching job.

My colleagues and team have been an amazing support system with sharing lessons and ideas, as well as letting each other share our frustrations without trying to immediately "fix" them. It's important sometimes to just feel heard and not like someone is trying to immediately "fix" the issue.
