Teaching from home this year has brought about a new set of challenges most of us never had to think about during our classroom teaching experiences. As a first year teacher, I'm starting from scratch! I am building my virtual classroom for my students, while turning a room in my own home into my office! A printer and laminator would be used for almost every lesson, allowing me to print examples, create signs and symbols to hang in our virtual background, and help me create supports for my students.
My goal as a teacher is to create an environment that my students can thrive in, even from behind a screen. I want to decorate my background, mounting work and inspiration with construction paper, and creating a positive and encouraging space for my class and me to work. The book bins and organizers will be used to help me arrange my workspace so I can do my best work. As a new teacher, I'm working very hard to make this experience positive for my students and myself.
