• Mar 2020 - Jun 2021

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the spring of 2020 I transitioned to teaching remotely until the end of the school year in June of 2020. At the start of the following school year, August 2020 I began teaching fully remote (full day) as the pandemic continued. I requested to transition back to in-person fully when that option was made available again for students, but was asked to change grade levels from third grade to second grade in November of 2020 for the remaining part of the year (hybrid). The 2020-2021 school year consisted of remote teaching and then a hybrid school day (half in person and half remote). Show less
