The books literally destroyed a tiny part of me.

I'll never be able to see Narnia the same way again.

.... wow.

@JinShei
This was true on such a level that I can't even.

I need a hell of a lot more chocolate though.

One of my babies posted this on our learning management system today, and I am so sad that I can't give her a hug.

"I really miss you and my freinds, and because of that, I can't really focus. I miss real school."

My sister dislikes them because sometimes she finds that bits of chick have started developing. We like our baby chickens as goop thanks.

This is how I feel playing with Norwood's IC daughter Adalyn right now.

That's really cool. I'm going to be using a program called Zoom. Our district was already a subscriber, but the company offered free accounts for all teachers who didn't already have them. It's how I'm going to run my read alouds.

Today church is canceled and so my husband and I didn't get to teach our 4/5 year olds at primary. We called them to make sure they know we love and miss them. Now I'm crying because I DO love and miss them.

This doesn't bode well for my week when I'm going to be missing my 26 babies at school.

My school just announced that we will close as of monday and I am devastated. I know it is a good thing for public health but...

God my kids.

The answer is yes.

We have thought about it.

EXHAUSTIVELY.

My superintendent looks like she is about to drop dead because she isn't sleeping right now trying to figure everything out.

I think I might have sprained my ankle. Not badly, but it hurts to put weight on. >.> It'll make tomorrow interesting to walk around the classroom.

I'm grateful that right now while one of my alts is utterly stuck, the other has things to do.

I got to spend 45 minutes today discussing how we're going to teach children when they aren't allowed to come to school just in case they shut us down.

TBH, I'm not even mentioning the immunocompromised part. Just a blanket, "So far kids are safe."

It isn't true. I know it isn't true. But I know my kids. If I say "these kids but not these kids" there are going to be problems.

I don't know how else to help them feel safe.

I got the soap put back in the boy's bathroom!!

(The boys kept emptying it out into the trash can/floor so had to use hand sanitizer for a while. Hopefully they don't start again...)

I also spent $200 on things I WANT for my classroom. (Aka, they're above and beyond the basics that the school DOES supply.)

I am hearing the people here but...

My students are terrified. They talk about it every recess.

We even had a little girl bring a mask to school because she has a chronic cough and that was their compromise between her washing her hands every time she coughed and keeping her home from school. My students all thought she had the virus.

Telling them that as children they're very safe is one of the only tools I have as an educator. I am sorry it hurts people, but my tool box is empty in the fact of something that kids just can't understand/grasp at their developmental level.

@Kestrel You've seen mine.

ngl, I read this as, "I've totally sent you a dick pic!"
