#calmandconnected

It's Monday and the first official day "since everything changed." School is out for 3 weeks. We are all reacting differently. I went through SO many emotions. But I've settled on my new mantra of calm and connected. There is nothing I can do to change this. But I have so many things working for me. 

I already work from home. I'm the "Virtual East Champion." I'm basically certified in social distancing. I'm organized (OCD if you want to name names). I love all things learning and teaching. I was basically made for this moment.

Once school closures were announced I started researching. First thing we needed - a schedule. In a world where we are suddenly feeling so uncertain, there is nothing more comforting than a schedule. The schedule makes T feel in control. This is so important. It makes him look forward to the rest of the day.
