Thankfully we get to say goodbye to this crapshoot of a year. It was such a struggle. All year long. Patrick attended in-person school half days…in the afternoon. So getting him to stick to a bed time was a 9 month fight. Mac attended in-person every other day. So getting him to stay engaged and complete assignments was a 9 month fight. Both my boys, who are usually straight A students with very little effort, really struggled with the year. Our family, who has always relied very heavily on routine, really struggled with the year.
But…it’s over!
Look how much they’ve grown in 9 months!
I completed my first year at PBL. Contrary to the boys’ year being a crapshoot, mine was great. It had its challenges, but I only taught half days, in-person. Teaching each class in a different room, wearing a mask, teaching each class asynchronously (teaching students in person and students online, live during the lesson). But I LOVED the move to junior high and teaching only one subject. Here is my new team, who I loved working with. Having taught mostly alone for the last couple of years are RCS, it was refreshing to have a team to meet, collaborate and work with!
