I love working at a place that prioritizes teacher voice, that prioritizes parent and student voice - everything we do (inside and outside of the classroom) on a daily basis is for those kids, it’s for their families. We do what is best for student outcomes, bottom line - it’s at the forefront.
I teach seven year olds - this is typically the time of year that they start coming out of their shell, and really letting their personalities thrive - and it’s heartbreaking for me to not witness that in the classroom. But the Escuela team has really worked hard to transition to online learning, and online social/emotional support. In addition to my lessons, I’m leading daily recess activities - incorporating things like yoga (the kids really enjoy this!), nature walks and more.
