Such a sad day… but let’s keep hope alive.

We all listened to the Governor today as he informed Virginia that we are not finishing the school year. In that moment you could almost audibly hear the hearts breaking of teachers across the state, and then when students started to realize the impact too (no graduations, no field day, no end of the year goodbyes…) they joined the wave of despair. We will all get through this tough time together (yet, apart), but is has really hit us hard emotionally. My fellow teachers and administrators were heartbroken with tears in our eyes. I think the common response we all said, “I’m just in shock.”

In the weeks to come I will work hard to bring you resources to use in your home both of my own creation and that of the genus of my teaching idols. In the “Links to Resources” I will post excellent ideas from award winning teachers and presenters from across the nation, as well as websites that will inspire you too.

PLEASE stay active. Play EVERY day. Enjoy the great weather when you can, and keep in touch.

Take care. Lots of love to you! And keep your chin up. 🙂
