Hi Michelle! Yes, I have made it through another year. And what a doozy it was! In my 24 years of teaching I have only tried to retain 2 students and only been successful once. This year I was able to retain 3! (One actually moved to florida when his parents were told, one is very much in agreeable, and the other is so upset about it, my principal and I may need an attorney.) it was one of the roughest years I have ever experienced. I am also a firm believer that no elementary student should be educated virtually unless they have health concerns that prevent them for attending school. Everyone of mine that was virtual though the pandemic, was at least a half year behind, usually. more. So sad!
So I have finally started my reading up again. I am also going to email you with my ideas for some stories, tomorrow, I promise.
