Let’s hear your stories. What has been successful for you so far this year and has brought a smile to your face? What has been the biggest challenge with DL, hybrid, face to face, or teaching/ life in general?

Trying to juggle hybrid in the mornings and then virtual in the afternoons has been tough. Keeping track of students and when they are coming and going is overwhelming. In 2 weeks my class list had changed 4 times (new students added) not to mention the quarantined students and two full time special needs students who are fully remote! On a brighter note, the in person kids are smiling and happy to be back in the classroom!

I feel your pain. We are full time right now but one teammate is doing only the DL students. Our classrooms are full! We have 29 students so far and after this trimester parents get to decide if they want to come back full-time which will put us over the 30 mark for sure. I have 5 students with special needs in my room. It is definitely a challenge. As of right now I don’t think I have any students going to distance-learning. Just trying to acclimate new students into the classroom after spending weeks of building community with my now students will be a challenge. We even have a possibility of going hybrids soon so that will be a different challenge if that happens. It’s hard to work this job with so many unknowns but I have have learned how resilient students are and I am. I am so happy though to get a chance to spend time in the classroom and get to know my kids so if we do go complete distance-learning I have built a relationship with them and there is some buy-in. There are so many funny stories that they tell me and their little quirks that it puts a smile on my face every day. You’ve got this!! Good luck and give yourself grace and love. ♥️♥️

Anyone have any idea when the hiring freeze might end within AWS ProServ? I’m currently at Amazon and have a TS clearance, PMP & CSM.

Instead of leaving, I’d love to go back to my “consulting roots” and join the ProServ team. I’m taking my AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner exam next weekend. Hoping this freeze is lifted soon.

Did anyone else adopt the new Florida Wonders curriculum? We just adopted it this school year, and I teach 4th grade. My team and I have not found a good flow, schedule, or whatever you want to call it. We feel like it teaches too many skills in one lesson, and we are not able to truly teach anything “deep” enough for students to master. Does anyone have any insight? What do you do? Do you like the curriculum? Why or why not? Would you be willing to share what you do weekly/daily? Thanks!

I'm almost done with my master's and right now we are discussing the knowledge gap that happens in 4th grade with our lower-class students. They know or have the skills for how to read (for the most part) but seem not to be able to comprehend what they are reading due to the fact that they don't have background knowledge like their upper-class peers - which is due to life experiences. Have you noticed this in your classes? I have but didn't realize why it was so hard to catch them up.

Even though life/ teaching isn’t normal right now- we still need to provide as much “normality “ for our students as possible. What is the funniest thing that has happened while teaching during hybrid or DL ? Make us smile. 😊
