Remote Learning Weekly - Issue #2

🤗 Self-Care for Educators

1. Feeling a little stressed? Try breathing like a Buddhist monk. It’ll help, we promise!
2. Take this free character survey and find out your top strengths. Experts say practicing what we’re strongest at helps us to feel happier. Here are suggestions for how.

🎓 Teaching in the Time of COVID

1. Students are experiencing significant anxiety and disorientation. Here’s great guidance from the National Child Traumatic Stress Network for teaching in a time of trauma.
2. Distance teaching got you down? This 4th Grade teacher’s got you covered.

🤦🏻‍♀️ Parenting while Working Remotely

1. Families are experiencing a whole lot of togetherness... In fact, a little social-distancing in your own home could be beneficial for the whole family — here are some good tips from a school counselor.
2. Wow, this is so good! Writing by kids around the world, of all ages. If you’ve got a child of writing age, this will inspire them to pick up a pen (or, you know, a keyboard).
3. With remote school and social distancing, screen time’s taken on a whole new dimension. If you’re not sure how to manage limits these days, here’s good advice from the experts.

🥰 Staying inspired and finding joy

1. Listen to this open-source Spotify playlist created by teachers with the All Y’all Social Justice Collective. It’ll fuel your planning brain AND get you to 10k steps!
2. Make sure to treat yourself. Here’s a five-minute, no-bake, single-serve apple crisp. Yum!
3. Are you a Hamilton fan who’s also teaching remotely? Maybe you need to be in the Zoom Where it Happens :)

That’s it for this week.
