Wonders News!
Thank you, Wonders Community.
We want to start off by thanking you for everything you are doing right now, during these unprecedented times, to support your students and each other. Over the past two months, our world has changed dramatically. You have stepped up, like the caring professionals you are, to shift from the classroom to the screen, to help your students, their parents, and your peers, in this uncharted territory. You’ve figured things out on the fly, and worn even more hats than usual – tech support, emotional support, and countless others. You’ve checked in on students outside of school hours and taken the time to reach out when an assignment doesn’t come through, or when you sense one of your kids is struggling. We know it hasn’t been easy for you, but we want you to know that we appreciate you. Your commitment to your students makes you heroes in our eyes. Thank you.
The focus of this issue will be providing you with resources that can help you and your colleagues with the realities of remote teaching – whether you’re wrapping up the school year or supporting students over the summer.
Stay safe and stay healthy.
