It’s hard to believe it’s been a year (almost) that we’ve been in some variation of lockdown. When I reflect back on the year, I am amazed at all that we have accomplished especially with all the changes, challenges and permutations to online teaching we’ve been through. As a team of incredible instructors, and of course amazing leadership, we should be proud of all we have accomplished. Not only have we all survived but we have thrived through a very unpredictable year. To say it’s been a challenging year would be a huge understatement but we made it!
As I tell my students at this time of the year, we made it through the worst of winter and we can now look forward to brighter and warmer days. So, let’s get through March and make it to our well deserved April Break this year.
Stay tuned because Haleema and I will be holding a PBLA boot camp for the new teachers!
As always, it’s so helpful to receive links and resources. Thank you to all the teachers who have shared these resources with us.
Don’t forget to take a look at the Google classroom where Danielle has been posting resources. There are lots of goodies to explore!

With Women’s Day, the start of Spring and Daylight Savings, St. Patrick’s day, National Potato Chips Day (yes this is a real thing) all in March there are a lot of fun and interesting topics to cover with your students.
Stay safe and healthy.
