Given that I'm in the same proverbial boat as Fran, I'm loving reading all of this wisdom. I'm going to ask students to continue with our minute of silence that we've done since day 1 of the school year. Although I'm supposed to spend most of the time "teaching" math, I plan to spend more time just checking in with them...see how they're feeling. I know if I were in their shoes I'd be anxious; I learn much better, do much better, with in-person teaching. I like Vishesh's idea of a mini group sign in...maybe I'll suggest it to my students. If their parents will allow it, maybe a few of them could spend some physical space together and "attend school together," albeit sometimes with a different teacher.
