The whiteboard still has the date of our last day of class. Next week, I will be returning to my classroom to prepare for summer classes. This will be the first time since March 12, 2020 when I left for the COVID lockdown. To be honest, I a bit nervious. The time between then and now has been limited to teaching on an 18 inch computer screen, long-distance, with no physical contact. When I go next week, I will be attempting to create a warm and welcoming room that puts students (and myself) at ease. The importance of having a space that will encourage learning is as important for adults as it is for children. So, as I dig out of over two years of time capsuled stuff, please keep us in your prayers. I truly want our summer classes to be filled with joyous learning rather than worry and stress.
