-How did you build connections with students or staff?

-What’s a “first” that stood out?

-Share a memory that made you laugh or smile.

Crying when we started 95%...me crying...the kids just ignored 95% at first. It was hard.

Sooooooo, I used our milar balloons and made the message "I can try" mostly for me, but when the going got tough that was our class mantra..."I can try."

I used the mess out of focus mode and mute for e-learning days...I didn't have to see or hear anything that could get me an H.R. Thursday in the annex basement.

Every day we didn't croak from the heat, lack of moving air, depletion of oxygen in our classroom.

Some of us cried yesterday, we had become a family.
