Professional Development
Today is a PD day.
I love PD days. For real. I like talking about my work, my kids, their work, my discipline, anything that has to do with my job. So I really value the opportunities presented by PD - especially when it's conversational.
Today, I attended an online session about maintaining connections with students through this crisis. It was great - super helpful, gave me some good activity ideas, and gave me some energy and inspiration to get through a few hours of task design.
This was a good start to the week after a long weekend.
I'm choosing to ignore that it was Easter this weekend. We're not religious so the significance of the holiday in our lives is just time spent with family. I would have loved to go to my parent's house for a big easter dinner and a little too much chocolate. We would have brought home leftovers that I would be eating for lunch all week and it would have been a nice day spent with family. Instead, we stayed home. We still have leftovers, they just happen to be Panago pizza instead of a turkey dinner. We still have chocolate - but the supply is fading quickly and this might become an essential shopping item. We still had family time, just the three of us and some video chats.
The absence of life as we knew it is weighing heavy on me today.
