Lemonade: I'm so glad to be back in the classroom with my kids. I love having more time in the classroom and less worrying about what pep rally or other school-wide event is coming next. I wish it could remain this way in future years.

Student internet issues that are out of our control. Google getting our hopes up for something that doesn't exist. Being able to adequately assess my students' understanding and mastery of content via e-learning.

Lemonade:  I wouldn't change it for the world (okay, maybe I would). I love seeing my students on the computer each morning and hearing their excitement when we try something new.

Working online has a lot more work attached to it, you can't quite see all the kids needs like you are used to being able to do, and it's a LOT of on=the-spot brainstorming.

Lemonade!! I really enjoy working online because the focus is mainly on the students and the lessons, with less time spent on behaviors. We have an AWESOME team who is always their support each other, whether for work or for friendship and fun. I am learning SO much this year!!! In So many ways!! Plus we get to see the kids in their home environment, which gives you an inside view we don't often have of our students. On top of that, I have a lot of respect for the students who are trying to hard to work while in a room with a ton of noise - other siblings online, parents working online, adult conversations, babies crying...it's a lot for them, and they are troopers! I am really enjoying the online piece so much more than i thought I would.

Lemon: I have so much to get done in a day's worth and it seems impossible to finish in a timely manner. I also feel overwhelmed with ensuring all my kiddos have what they need to succeed.
Lemonade: My team, as well as others, have been a wonderful support system to lean on/ask questions to. I appreciate all you do.

Lemon- new Elar. It’s overwhelming. Feel like there is a higher standard than in years past at district level. I feel this should be the year for grace! I can’t imagine STAAR counting this year given all the inconsistencies with enrollments and scores will be skewed. Lemonade- love working with Keu. She is a terrific and patient teacher. My team is wonderful and I enjoy their friendships.

Lemon: COVID and all the ways it locks us in place and makes us jump through hoops.
