You're just distracted by Jabba the Hut.

Carrie Fisher in Star Wars?

A mobile home is like a car... it only loses value over time. Not only that, everything in it is made with the lightest weight materials. Things are going to fall apart, rot, and break. It's not a long-term investment, it's cheap housing. Sell, sell, sell.

So after driving the school bus into a virtual ditch, the state has decided that we have to be back in person. My state has been locked down pretty much the whole time. Teachers were on a priority list to be vaccinated, but suddenly they reversed that, cancelled our appointments and ordered our...

They are 75 minutes.  I'm trying to build in some breaks and some work time because they can't get much done during a video class.  It's too distracting.

I've been teaching online for 8 weeks now.  The video sessions 5 hours a day is draining.  I put in way more time with meetings, planning, grading, parent contacts than before.  My stress level is through the roof.  I feel like I'm on the clock all day.  I try to keep class time light...

My classroom windows do not open....AT ALL.  I've contemplated what to throw through the windows in case of an active shooter because there is only the one exit.

This is the beginning of week two online for me.  The earliest we'll return in person for hybrid is October.  I spent all last week mainly setting routines, breaking ice, and developing community.  I'm working from home teaching barefoot in shorts and a tee.   I could get used to this.

I think half were because they were looking for cheaper options, with a more "rigorous" curriculum... ? :shrug:   I believe they ordered something, but it hasn't come in yet, we haven't been trained yet, but we're ALREADY starting! I'm still investigating the other.  I think the new curriculum...

So my school is launching online learning, video classes on a schedule, together with attendance starting Monday for two months.  In October, if the Governor doesn't extend this lock down further, we'll begin the split-personality phase, also known as Hybrid Learning.  We aren't allowed to use...

Yesterday, our governor announced that high schools will not start the in-person hybrid until at least October 5.  My district is going ahead with online August 3, following the exact same schedule we'll be using for hybrid, minus the "Acceleration/Intervention" (i.e. babysitting) between...

They are my own personal appliances in my own classroom that no one else is supposed to enter.  🤷‍♀️

Honestly, I would much rather be back in the classroom full-time.  That isn't an option.  My district is starting online.  We can teach from home or school, but if we are at school, we have to stay isolated in our classrooms and make sure we do not congregate or go to the office or especially...

My district informed us that we will be 100% online for at least the first two weeks.  After that depends on the covid 19 rates.
