POSITIVES IN A PANDEMIC
2020 has definitely been a year of highs and lows so far, with the bushfires early in the year and now Covid-19. At the start of the school year I was very lucky to do two days of training for a Literacy Program called MiniLit. However when Covid-19 hit I was worried about how we could continue doing our lessons.
Group lessons became individual lessons which were scheduled throughout the day with the wonderful support of parents who became experts in video conferencing. Parents became an extra pair of hands, an extra pair of eyes, willing participants in games like 'I Spy' and now have a far greater knowledge and understanding of what their child does in a MiniLit Lesson - they could probably even run one themselves!
I would like to sincerely thank the parents who I have worked with. You are your children's biggest fans and it has been a privilege to have been let into your homes.
