Accomplishments
Achieved teaching Kindergarten through Covid, 10 students were on-line & 16 students were in my classroom. As a team our school was effectively in helping our student body maintain their education using tools completely new to us such as Zoom, Seesaw, Go Noodle and other apps. We taught not only the Kindergartners how to use these tools , but also their parents.
