I just completed our first week of online teaching. It’s doable. It’s definitely different but at day 3 I started getting comfortable and I think it’s going to be ok. I have 22 kids right now. It feels overwhelming at first but I have a great team.
I have a co teacher and aTA because my class is a Kindergarten collaborative class but I will tell you that teaching on the computer is doable. We have 12 students in the classroom and 5 at home. We teach on the Zoom every day, starting at 8:30 til 1030, doing Morning meeting, ELA/WRITERS WORKSHOP AND social studies. ( I teach the morning subjects. My co- teacher does our afternoon session. ) Then we sign off, where in class students do snack, recess til 11:00. At home students have snack and recess however they can as long as they are playing. At home students are to complete Seesaw activities for reading, DEAR TIME, and social studies. Then they have other options such as more play time, lunch and and they complete specials classes assignments, also in Seesaw. They log back on for class at 1:40.
At 11:00, In class students do literacy tubs and DEAR TIME (silent reading time). Then they go to specials, come back for a quick read aloud and then off to lunch at 1:00. At 1:40, we all log back on where we do math and science. At 2:30 we have closing meeting and log off. At home students do math and science assignment on Seesaw. In class does math tubs and stem tubs. It’s really a full day for both at home and in school students. We use a slide show to do our daily lessons chock full of games, anchor charts, videos, read aloud (we use a document camera when needed). All students at home have the same supplies that students have at school.... math tool kit, journals, laminated reading/ math graphic organizers, dry erase boards/ markers/ erasers, even playdoh. When we think that school may be shutdown for whatever reason, in school kids take their supplies home and bring them back when school reopens. All of this works well with the support of parents, especially when we need at home parents to a supply pick- up. It also works well because we go over Zoom Essential Agreements for both meeting sessions every day (fancy name for rules). It’s not ideal but we make it work for us.
*Small groups are done by using a feature on Zoom called “break-out rooms). Hope this helps😅
