Face to Face Teaching

 For the first time in almost a year and a half, I stood in front of students this week.  I was so nervous for a million and one reasons.  As it turns out it was in fact pretty challenging.  We only have half the students back in and next week we will have the other half.  Therefore, we are still online half the day.  And it is far from normal with the ones in the classroom.  Everyone is wearing masks, of course, and sitting 6 feet away from each other.  The students cannot mix between their groups and it is hard to teach people when I am wearing a mask and they are.  It is almost easier online as it is so important to be able to read faces.  Having said that even with the restrictions the kids were very happy to be there.  By the end of the week, it was a bit better but I do feel for them.  Oh and today we were put back online following a Covoid scare on campus.   I think it will be that sort of academic year.

On another note, Lola cola had a good week.  She is on about 6 pills a day to try and sort out a few infections so was a bit low at the beginning.  Last night though she played chase with Luis and it was so great to see her back running around.

Sebastian loves being in charge of walking her.

It was an overcast long week.  But this sun is shining today and it is a bit cooler.  We are looking forward to a nice weekend ahead.
