ONTARIO – Fifth grade teacher Carol DeWitt likes change and she likes a good challenge. Distance learning has offered plenty of both.
DeWitt teaches 27 students at May Roberts Elementary this year. She meets once a week with her class via video – Tuesdays for about an hour and a half. The meetings have proven a popular respite for kids during the pandemic. DeWitt has used the time to help students connect with each other.
One student recently shared a song, others introduced classmates to their pets, one boy even takes the class on a tour each week of the garden he is helping with . . .
