It has always been a difficult but rewarding job. I don't think teachers have ever had to be as brave as they have this past year! One of my favorite things was shopping for classroom supplies and I always had too many. I still get excited about new pens :)Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09807434285554893291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4258331961514081693.post-70998707752974202442021-03-03T08:41:46.878-05:002021-03-03T08:41:46.878-05:00Hats off to you and your dedication to teaching in...Hats off to you and your dedication to teaching in this crazy time!

I remember when we didn't lock doors, or had secure in place drills, or told children to stand on toilet seats if they got locked out of their classroom. Teaching most certainly requires bravery these days:(Teachingnest87https://www.blogger.com/profile/16157232367784361445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4258331961514081693.post-610268040379405772021-03-02T18:06:16.112-05:002021-03-02T18:06:16.112-05:00You've nailed it with your description of teac...You've nailed it with your description of teaching! It absolutely is or isn't all of those things and it most definitely is something you always need to be brave about. It sounds like you're enjoying your teaching journey so far and apart from paperwork, tears and the current situation, it is a great place to be working!

I like how you crafted your post with the words always and never. The line that resonates with me and made me pause is "I never thought I'd be teaching in a world where I can't hug, or high five my kids. I am." I like to interject that it also stings to see my little granddaughters and not be able to hug or kiss them. The pandemic has changed relationships in outward appearances but not in our hearts.Carol Varsalonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02589714711155938528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4258331961514081693.post-35542042800517562582021-03-02T14:06:23.845-05:002021-03-02T14:06:23.845-05:00I love the back and forth of "always" an...I love the back and forth of "always" and "never."
