Succeeding in a Time of Covid by Brittany Donovan https://padlet.com/donovanb4/75rf4m7m9mqbex9o Although this year may be spooky, it can be a lot less frightful when we learn from one another. Please share any success stories or positive outcomes that have occurred despite (or because of) the unfamiliar teaching environment brought on by Covid-19 (i.e. "I made it through today and ___ went well"). en-us 2020-10-09 02:25:38 UTC 2026-02-12 23:22:25 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f341.png My Teacher's on Mute donovanb4 https://padlet.com/donovanb4/75rf4m7m9mqbex9o/wish/818629957 I learned that the host gets muted when you close breakout rooms!

He said, "Sometimes my stuff for school gets lost at home, too! I just use a different paper!" Love the empathy!]]> 2020-10-10 16:08:37 UTC https://padlet.com/donovanb4/75rf4m7m9mqbex9o/wish/818720225 My kindergarten students are becoming more and more proficient with using the Chromebooks! :) https://padlet.com/donovanb4/75rf4m7m9mqbex9o/wish/818903122 2020-10-10 20:31:16 UTC https://padlet.com/donovanb4/75rf4m7m9mqbex9o/wish/818903122 https://padlet.com/donovanb4/75rf4m7m9mqbex9o/wish/818904352 My students are taking good care of their individual supplies. Even though they can’t be together at a table and use community supplies, they have adapted well! ]]> 2020-10-10 20:32:58 UTC https://padlet.com/donovanb4/75rf4m7m9mqbex9o/wish/818904352 https://padlet.com/donovanb4/75rf4m7m9mqbex9o/wish/821437863 My 2nd graders are extremely punctual and timely. I rarely ever have anyone hopping on a Zoom late.  Helps to keep us moving and on track throughout the day.

I was definitely skeptical at first... I think it helps that they are so young and don't know any different, but I am still super proud of them!

I'm so thrilled to work such a highly dedicated and caring group of professionals. We are HP strong. maureendeely1 https://padlet.com/donovanb4/75rf4m7m9mqbex9o/wish/826678520 2020-10-13 21:11:12 UTC https://padlet.com/donovanb4/75rf4m7m9mqbex9o/wish/826678520 We can all work together even if we are 6 feet apart! We are all going through the same difficulties and we need to compliment and celebrate our accomplishments even if things aren't perfect. Try teaching a preschooler the difference between f and s when we cannot see each others faces! https://padlet.com/donovanb4/75rf4m7m9mqbex9o/wish/828526629 Michelle M.]]> 2020-10-14 13:26:52 UTC https://padlet.com/donovanb4/75rf4m7m9mqbex9o/wish/828526629 I feel incredibly fortunate to work with such dedicated and talented professionals.

We're also building our teen numbers and learning to find the difference!

We are doing something right for them to get that excited about reading! Well done, team! :)

Kids have even said how it helps them calm down...it sure helps me!

Here's a link to a little mindful music YouTube playlist...
