Please tell your children I miss them! If you can, give them a hug from me. I am only able to hug Mr. Abbott right now, but have had some great virtual gatherings with my two daughters, friends and extended family. I didn't know until now you can FaceTime and use WhatsApp for video calls with multiple people!
In regards to work, I have had five meetings on-line. Although they were productive and informative, the children know this is the least favorite part of my job. My favorite part is being with them. There is a lot I don't know about how to connect virtually, but I am excited to learn. I am doing a lot of research on that now and will be sending some ideas next week!
Until then, please send me photos, videos, updates on what you are doing and any ideas you have about ways to keep our classroom connected. It takes a village. Send them anytime! I will be checking my email every day.
Tell your children the bunnies are eating my flowers again this year! I have covered some of my tulips with cages and sprinkled them with spicy Cayenne pepper. This will probably work better than me chasing them around like Mr. McGregor in The Tales of Peter Rabbit! Ask your child what I mean...
Stay in touch and let me know if I can help you in any way. Most importantly stay healthy and happy!
