I can work from home because all students are learning from home for the foreseeable future, due to COVID-19 (Coronavirus). What this means right now is that I am staying home, staying safe, and checking my emails. What it actually means for me right now is a time to slow down, plan some amazing lessons for home use, and think about all that I bring to a classroom (virtual or not). However, I can only do that for a few days, since as of Friday, it is SPRING BREAK!!! Spring Break for me usually involves working at the Leisure Centre for Day Camps, but they are closed to the public as well.
My teenager is home and safe from the dangers of smoking at the mall with their friends, and without the constant scrutiny of their school attendance and behaviours. They have been clingy and whiny, but so have I, so I fully support it. I like that they want to be close to me right now, because I'm sure the novelty will wear off.
I am starting to really miss my family. I am envious of my sister who lives in my parents' basement, because she has 5 other people to spend time with, and gets to be close to everyone right now. I am grateful for the technology we have that allows us to connect with one another via video chat.
Is it meta if I post a picture of me writing this blog post? I don't even know right now, I just know that I wanted to start to write. I am glad that I have done so, and will hopefully continue this practice in the coming weeks.
