While January started like it was still 2020, February is on the horizon and 2021 has some promise. We have experienced changes in our political sphere and vaccinations for COVID are starting to be distributed. Although we are primarily remote, there is light at the end of the tunnel toward going back to our schools in person. We understand that both students and educators alike may be experiencing ‘Zoom’ fatigue. Luckily for you, in this bulletin, we include ways in which to make virtual learning more manageable through developing healthy habits and resilience, as well as how to integrate current events into your lesson plans! As always, take good care.
