Slice of Life: Maslow Before Bloom #SOL20 #TWTBlog

Words wash over me. Words surround me. Words remind me that school is so much more than a lesson or an objective. Words show that students need to connect with people they know right now. Words I heard from teachers today:

My heart aches

Are they ok

What is enough

I haven’t heard from…

Are they scared

I miss them

I am worried

I need to see them

How will we connect

Do they understand

Are they safe

I want them to know I’m here

I want them to know I love them

Words lead us to what matters. Relationships matter. Interactions matter. Teachers matter — thank you for all you do and are doing!
