This new school year will be a challenging one for everyone. A long time high school social studies teacher, I found myself excessed from my school community and having to start from scratch, as I am teaching middle school social studies for the first time in my career. As a teacher with a medical accommodation, I will be teaching remotely to students who are learning remotely and/or in the school building. It is imperative that I find unique ways to reach them all. I always strive to have a variety of interactive centers for each unit. This year many of those stations will not be able to be used due to the children not being able to move around, nor share manipulatives/texts/papers. To that end, I must do everything within my power to create digital experiences to enable my students to still have the opportunity to learn, see themselves in history and master concepts through interactive centers.
