It's important to give yourself permission to PAUSE and get to know our students to build community in the virtual classroom.
"If you get up in the morning and think the future is going to be better, it is a bright day. Otherwise, it's not." - Elon Musk
"We are all in this together."

The core of learning is in our relationships.
When students have opportunities to get to know each other it will build community and the foundation for learning.
Asking students about the strategies that have previously worked for them is important.
"Everyone has a purpose."
"What do you believe in? How do you want to learn? Do you have a goal? Can we make a goal together?"
