Every year, I work after school. I work with small groups of students and we work on whatever they need. Reading, Writing, Math! No big deal, I've been doing it for years. But of course, this year was very different. I am teaching remotely from my home everyday. My students and I stare at the screen for hours. It felt like torture to even consider staying on a device a moment longer. So initially I said No. Then I changed my mind and my expectations. I meet with my kiddos for 2 hours on Saturdays. It's an open door policy, Come if you like. And as long as they come I log on to zoom. Some days there are 6 kids. Some days two. Some days we get tons of work done. Some days we games. But each time I finish, I feel a little bit more grateful for the time I get to spend with them. Even on a Saturday Morning.
