Hi Everyone,
I would say we are in uncharted territory these days. While there are a significant number of resources out there as well as tons of tools being shared, sometimes the abundance is overwhelming. Taking a step back to take a breath may allow a clearer picture of where we might be headed with this ‘Continuity of Learning’. There are many things that we don’t know at this point in time.
What I know for sure:
- together is better than being alone
- connectedness with students and families is what we do best
- resilience doesn’t happen overnight (takes a whole lot of bravery to try new things)
- our team is here to help with simple tools, platforms and learning support
I’m reminded of a couple of things: Connections and relationships are important and so is ‘physical distancing’. This is from Peter Reynolds (@peterhreynolds) who graciously gave permission to share this image. You’ll also find his YouTube channel very interesting especially as he is sharing how to draw.
Here’s another one with a Canadian lens from Kristen Wiens (@kwiens62). Got to love that hockey stick.
Thank you for all of the links you are providing and activity suggestions! We are so lucky to have Janet Chow in Burnaby!!!!
