My district is remote since September. I teach first grade. We teach whole class and small groups. I try to meet with each group twice a week. The primary teachers in my district use two laptops and have two Google Meets going when we go into small groups. I have a fabulous Title 1 teacher who comes to my class several times a week in la and math. I do small groups at that time. She takes her kids, I take a small group and I watch the group working independently on the other laptop. I check in every few minutes with them. We are not allowed to leave them unattended or to have them log off to complete work. We also cannot record lessons. It’s crazy, but they are getting used to it. If it’s just me, I will do one small group and have the rest do independent work. I usually take two groups in one period if I can. They have learned to leave one meet and go to the small group meet. I don’t like it, but I need to do small groups. I can’t teach whole group and help all the students.
