They truly enjoy seeing each other every Tues. & Thurs. morning! haler10 https://padlet.com/haler10/c8f4r9361rms329t/wish/947202628 - Rochelle]]> 2020-11-20 21:36:34 UTC https://padlet.com/haler10/c8f4r9361rms329t/wish/947202628 I'm grateful for the easily accessible walking trails in my neighborhood - perfect for taking short breaks from my screen. haler10 https://padlet.com/haler10/c8f4r9361rms329t/wish/947211297 - Rochelle]]> 2020-11-20 21:39:57 UTC https://padlet.com/haler10/c8f4r9361rms329t/wish/947211297 Heather https://padlet.com/haler10/c8f4r9361rms329t/wish/947285611 I'm grateful for (in no particular order)...
--my own gradual learning about how to teach well remotely
--FPAE and its donors for getting us student devices (eventually!!)
--passionate, intrepid PAE teachers and the PPS teachers who teach my children
--weekend reading with coffee (a.m.) or a glass of wine (p.m.)
--family
--houses with warm light coming through the windows when I'm out walking the dogs at night]]> 2020-11-20 22:17:34 UTC https://padlet.com/haler10/c8f4r9361rms329t/wish/947285611 I'm so grateful for all the support we're getting (from each other and FPAE and PAE and PPS) as we travel through these bizarre, unprecedented times, trying to reach our students. Grateful that I'm finally able to feel like I'm actually teaching my students, rather than just struggling to connect with them. https://padlet.com/haler10/c8f4r9361rms329t/wish/947307669 Very grateful that we live in Maine, where things are relatively calm and easy (for us, anyway), and that there are so many beautiful places to walk and explore right from our back door.
So grateful that we can all still communicate so relatively easily -- see each other, listen to each other, laugh with each other -- it's pretty amazing, actually.

That reminds me why we do this work. https://padlet.com/haler10/c8f4r9361rms329t/wish/947903107 Shoshana]]> 2020-11-21 10:44:10 UTC https://padlet.com/haler10/c8f4r9361rms329t/wish/947903107 I'm grateful to see how far students have come with technology. At first, we wondered if anyone would click on the link for Zoom and now they are muting and unmuting themselves with ease and writing in the CHAT . Now we are doing Google Quizzes. It is easy to forget that everyone has come such a long way with technology. Learning is happening! https://padlet.com/haler10/c8f4r9361rms329t/wish/948668437

It is a great way to take a breath at the end of the week. Thanks Patty! https://padlet.com/haler10/c8f4r9361rms329t/wish/948671896 Moey]]> 2020-11-21 21:50:00 UTC https://padlet.com/haler10/c8f4r9361rms329t/wish/948671896 I'm grateful for the ongoing support from this community; getting all of my students into Breakout Rooms; seeing one particular student struggle with, then grasp present progressive. So cool! https://padlet.com/haler10/c8f4r9361rms329t/wish/948977756 Chris]]> 2020-11-22 04:46:59 UTC https://padlet.com/haler10/c8f4r9361rms329t/wish/948977756 I'm grateful that I have a job I love, and that I can do it from home. https://padlet.com/haler10/c8f4r9361rms329t/wish/950194324 2020-11-22 18:49:44 UTC https://padlet.com/haler10/c8f4r9361rms329t/wish/950194324 I'm grateful that my 16 year old has a powerful internal flame -- he remains joyful and motivated as one thing after another crumbles around him. https://padlet.com/haler10/c8f4r9361rms329t/wish/952182932 Amy]]> 2020-11-23 13:24:42 UTC https://padlet.com/haler10/c8f4r9361rms329t/wish/952182932 I am grateful to teach.

I am grateful for people's willingness to share raw and difficult emotions and trust that we will hold each through challenging times. https://padlet.com/haler10/c8f4r9361rms329t/wish/952198816 Amy]]> 2020-11-23 13:28:42 UTC https://padlet.com/haler10/c8f4r9361rms329t/wish/952198816 I am grateful for our amazing community and for our wonderful leadership team who has gone above and beyond to support all of us through this very stressful and challenging time. https://padlet.com/haler10/c8f4r9361rms329t/wish/954642770 Kathy]]> 2020-11-24 02:22:30 UTC https://padlet.com/haler10/c8f4r9361rms329t/wish/954642770 I am grateful to have the best school management at PAE, wonderful colleagues ready to help no matter what and when!
