Fall has hit (at least for this week) in Virginia and I am here for it! And I got to go in to the school building yesterday to see our refinished IB office- it really felt like back to school!
Today was a weird combination of technology fails (that I couldn’t have predicted until they had happened, which sucks) and also huge successes. Google Earth wouldn’t interface the way I needed it to with my kids accounts, which killed half of my Carmen SanDiego themed Google Earth scavenger hunt, which also meant that I wasted like 6 hours of time creating it. But the student selected breakout rooms were amazing, and the level of support my kids gave each other, and the grace with which they handled our tech problems, balanced out a lot of the tough parts of the day. As always, it’s hard work and exhausting, but also the best work I could ever want to do.
