Dear Parents, we're tired too.
This is a frustrating time for everyone. We are in a pandemic and no one knows how long things will be the way they are. Temperature checks at the door, curbside child drop off/pick up, always wearing a N-95 mask for staff while parents and school-aged students have to wear some sort of face covering, being strict with symptoms and illness. This is all part of our new normal for God knows how long.

What They Don't Tell You about Being a Teacher
"Teaching is easy," is a phrase I often hear. All you have to do is get in front of a group of kids and tell them their ABC's and their 1 2 3's. Have lunch time, nap time, and call it a day, right? There's a lot more to teaching than that. Being a teacher, you have to be ready for anything and everything. Little Jimmy just puked on the carpet? You better know what to do. Alex just stole's Amanda's crayon? Well, you better resolve it fast before Amanda has a tantrum. Classroom management is a huge part of teaching as well as a huge part as to why so many teachers quit. They can't control their classrooms, therefore, they call it quits. Classroom management is tricky, especially on the first day of the job. A new class, a new group of kids, and you don't know what's going to work for them so you just do the whole trial and error thing for the entire year until something works.
