Day 19
Today I held office hours for the kiddos over Zoom. It was slightly awkward, there was a lot of sitting in silence waiting for someone to say something. But it was nice to see some students, and they seemed really happy to get to socialize with each other if even only for an hour. At the end of the hour I had them share their "personal weather" with me. This was something I learned from a past professor, which I thought was really cool. The kids just tell me how they're feeling using weather as a symbol and they are free to give as much or little detail as they want.
After that I got a call from one of the other english teachers saying that one of the kiddos had gotten editing privileges to our google doc worksheet. That was my fault, I had misread the email and thought I was just giving him viewing privalages... oops.... it was an easy fix and I adjusted the instructions to let the kids know they were supposed to make a copy of the document to turn in.
It was a bit of a rough day between all the grading and meetings, but getting to see my students for a little bit did make it a lot better.
