    I love the hands on activities. I try to include STEM activities everyday, but sometimes my imagination is running low.

    This year’s biggest challenge is being remote. Distance learning is just not able to meet as many needs as we are in the classroom.

    It is difficult to teach kids without being there physically, especially as a COTA. A lot of parents in our district don’t have the means for someone to be sitting with their children ensuring they are engaged and participating. The more interactive and fun you can make sessions the more the students want to attend and put in the work and effort!

    Keeping learning play based without losing control. My class is mostly all boys and they’re immature and very impulsive. I feel like I’m herding cats all morning!
