That 2021

News Flash : CDC guidelines have changed 6 feet to 3 feet. I should be jumping up and down but I'm triggered. All of the changes are making me feel insane.  I check my email obsessively.  And now the questions: How will it work? What does it mean for remote teachers?  What about my in person colleagues? What about my students?  I'm exhausted from all of this! So I'm off to love my smooshy Bulldog!  The End.  And to top it off this post didn't save and I had to type it all over again. Sigh😩

Most years, a student might move and leave  class. But this is not most years.  Remote learning is not ideal so students come in and out frequently.  Blended isn't working, they join.  Remote is not working, they leave.  Childcare is hard, they leave.  Someone is quarantined, they join.  Now, the classes in school are full. So no changes, right? No way. Today two new students arrived.  They were absolutely lovely.  They were fun!  But these changes have been hard.  I've gotten in the habit of checking my email frequently, almost obsessively, so I'm not caught off guard. That's happened five minutes before school another change. Sunday night, change.  And I know everyone is feeling it but that doesn't make it better.   Today we ended with some kind words.   What was the best part of your  day? Meeting my new friends!  So in the end... it didn't matter.  All of my anxiety washed away for today....
