I Am Still Here - a teacher's poem

On Tuesday our term will begin. A totally unprecedented term. How do you teach preschoolers online? How do you take Reggio teaching online? On the eve of this new experience I am apprehensive and excited. With that energy I have written this poem to my class, to their parents, to the world. I am still here!

I Am Still Here

I miss my children
I miss my class
So much is uncertain
And there is much to fear
But I am still here
Online now
Through videos and zoom
I will remind them of my love
Through google classroom
I will challenge their minds
I will partner with parents
I am still here
Together we will figure this out
How to bring learning home
My kids will be the guinea pigs
When my lessons get to you
They will be well loved
I am still here
I am afraid of this new thing
I am uncertain what time will bring
But I know that I will try my best
To do the cooking and the cleaning
To do the homeschooling and the teaching
To continue my vocation
I am still here
