Every educator has been through an upheaval over the past year. Through every new phase of the pandemic, hybrid, virtual, and in-person, we have been trying our best to reach our students. There are some days we are more successful at this than others. One of my proudest lessons of the past year would have to be based on one of my favorite books, A Poem as BIG as New York City, edited by the Teachers & Writers Collaborative, Illustrated by Masha D'Yans.

My school has been open through the pandemic to serve our students in a congregate care setting. As the cases are rising once again, I wanted to remind myself of the good work that has come out of this year. Please take a look at my favorite lesson of the pandemic!
