We all need a friendly face in these scary times and I know it meant the world to your students and their families. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bravely-going-where-i-have-never-gone-before/page/2#post-2107455 Sat, 21 Mar 2020 11:28:52 +0000 Staysfit 2107455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mainelady, your post is so heartwarming to read given our current circumstances! &nbsp;I have started my telehealth meetings with my children/parents and had one parent who felt very shy about being on camera. &nbsp;I initially felt self conscious about being on camera as well, but we persevered and it worked well enough. I am not 100% sure, but I do think wearing makeup, which I had time for on day 1, but not day 2 improved my appearance on camera. &nbsp;My hair stylist canceled my appointment since only “necessary” businesses can remain open as of Sunday in NY. &nbsp;We will all grow shaggy together! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bravely-going-where-i-have-never-gone-before#post-2107454 Sat, 21 Mar 2020 11:17:34 +0000 Mainelady 2107454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello Fabbers,<br />&nbsp; I hope you are all doing well and adjusting to the changes and challenges during this health crisis.<br />&nbsp; Thank you all for your boosts and therapeutic comments. I will continue to connect with my students and families via email, photos and an occasional video as we move forward. Meeting the “social” and emotional needs is as important as meeting the academic needs. I can do this. Next year I will be adding a “hair and makeup” line item to my budget. &nbsp; &nbsp;;) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bravely-going-where-i-have-never-gone-before#post-2107418 Sat, 21 Mar 2020 02:25:39 +0000 Marilyn 2107418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>❤️ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bravely-going-where-i-have-never-gone-before#post-2107214 Fri, 20 Mar 2020 15:16:48 +0000 Suz 2107214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a terrific thing to do and so glad you reached out to your students this way.

There is nothing more beautiful than AUTHENTICITY - which is not always perfectly polished. Especially for kids, who have highly-attuned BS detectors! I'm sure you looked gorgeous, bright and cheerful, which is just what is needed right now. xoxo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bravely-going-where-i-have-never-gone-before#post-2107188 Fri, 20 Mar 2020 13:28:58 +0000 Christina F. 2107188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for this post! I have so many teacher friends (since I used to teach&nbsp; myself), so I have some idea of what teachers at all levels are going through. You all all heroes in my book. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bravely-going-where-i-have-never-gone-before#post-2107181 Fri, 20 Mar 2020 12:35:08 +0000 Bijou 2107181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How lovely - staying connected is so important. At my work we are moving to working from home for the next 14 days and will be checking in with each other during the day using Microsoft Teams. It is great that technology means that even in relative isolation, we are still connected. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bravely-going-where-i-have-never-gone-before#post-2107177 Fri, 20 Mar 2020 12:00:08 +0000 RobinF 2107177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good idea!

I think one thing we can all do, apart from staying home, is reach out to the family and friends we don't speak to frequently. In that spirit I am organizing virtual wine parties with some friends .&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bravely-going-where-i-have-never-gone-before#post-2107142 Fri, 20 Mar 2020 02:07:21 +0000 CarolS 2107142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is fabulous!

I am sure the sight of you in your video was reassuring for them. Thank you for sharing your story. My children and grandchildren have been ill, so we have been very isolated. I look forward to a return to social interaction and everyone getting better.. Even a walk with the dog is a treat or talking to neighbors over the fence. We have lots of snow today and cold. The photo be.ow was taken early this morning. Now we have 6 of the predicted 8 inches and every twig is white in spite of a stiff wind. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bravely-going-where-i-have-never-gone-before#post-2107100 Thu, 19 Mar 2020 20:51:11 +0000 Anonymous 2107100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aww!
