EOY Survey
This school year sure was an unusual one, but it was also one for the history books (pun intended). Crazy to think that students 100 years from now or even 500 years from now will be sitting in their history class learning about the COVID pandemic the same way you all sat and learned about the bubonic plague. I often say that my favorite part about teaching is the time spent in the classroom with my students and unfortunately the pandemic has taken that away from me. Luckily though, thanks to you all, I still got to feel a sense of normalcy and happiness everyday when I got to talk to you on zoom. I think I speak for all of us when I say that we hope you come by next year and formally introduce yourselves to us, we'd love to actually meet you and see the faces behind the screen. Please complete this survey honestly and genuinely by Friday. Yes, you still have to join zoom everyday- so see you there! =)
