Zoom is my life as a special education teacher. @deadwoodpecker made me this meme on the Ginny Lovers Discord today that I find highly apropos considering how much I use the app lately.

Thoughts from Quarantine 2020

Documenting here for posterity, though it seems impossible that we would ever forget...

School has been closed since March 13. It has been one week (cue music) since I've talked to my kiddos and, with no indication that this was the plan, I am worried.

This is teacher life.

I am not excited for a break. I am not happy parents can see their kids' real struggle. I am not relishing in this sudden time for myself. I am wondering if my students are eating. I am hoping their parents are able to be home with them while also having the money to keep them home indefinitely. Are they healthy? Have they been exposed?

As my county figures this all out one day at a time, I know all I can do at this point is wait. When I inevitably start teaching via web cam (my 8 boys and me CANT WAIT), I know I will apologize for not preparing them--even though there was no I way I could. I will smile and cheer that I missed them and ask them what they've been doing. I won't care that they spent all day on a tablet or that they haven't thought about a book since school.

This is a really crazy time in the world. THE WORLD! My brain cannot grasp the enormity of this crisis, and I know my students can't either.

I hope they are behaving. I hope they are healthy and safe. I hope they are making the most of a crazy situation.

And I hope they miss me a little 😉

Three cups of coffee so far. The last was mainly to keep my hands warm. It's soo cold in my classroom. ☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕ #frozenteacher #frozenpara #speducator #elkriversoapcompany #ERSC #workathomemom #workingmom #spedparaprofessional #spedpara #spedparalife #ELLparaprofessional #ELLpara #ELLparalife #boymom #boymomx3 #boymomlife #autismmom #autismmomx2 #autismmomlife #autismadventure #specialneedsparentrunbusiness #alamosacolorado #sanluisvalleycolorado #threesudsybubs (at Alamosa, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6_X3MZgSxC/?igshid=a3pz787loxin
