We have returned to the classroom, and for some of my scholars, this is the first time they have been in the school building in over 18 months. As we develop plans for keeping safe this year, we are cognizant of the fact that scholars may need to have individual sets of materials, and that we will need to more frequently clean and sanitize our common spaces. As we navigate COVID-19, we are getting creative with the many ways we deliver instruction, and how students use our instructional space. One of the ways we are helping to keep as socially distanced as possible is with small-group instruction. I will meet with a group of 8 or fewer students at a time, while other scholars are working on independent practice, enrichment activities, or receiving additional help. We are blessed to have a Chromebook for every scholar. These Chromebooks allow us to individualize learning plans for students who need deeper enrichment, who need extra practice, or who need to revisit skills learned earlier in the school year. We use programs such as Lexia and DreamBox almost every single day. In order to ensure that scholars are making the most of every moment on their Chromebooks and that they are not distracted by the computers of others, we would like to ensure that every scholar has their own pair of over-the-ear headphones to use. We will ensure that headphones are assigned to individual scholars, that they are not shared, and that they are disinfected/ sanitized regularly. This will help our scholars focus on the learning program and reduce distractions.
