A Prayer for Saint Paul School
by Mrs. Woodgate
WEEK 2
Look at us!
We didn’t skip a beat!
Teaching and learning remotely.
Log on to the LMS,
Check those assignments,
Cookies with the principal...
Sure, why don’t we?
Chat on the class wall,
Post your questions,
How do I upload a file?
Eat snacks while we work.
It’s “snack time” all day!
Wrappers, plates, and cups in a pile.
Social distancing
Isolation
Stay at least six feet away
I love my mom
I love my dad
But, we miss our friends during the day!
Fist bumps with Vidhi
Jokes with Nick
A whimsical story from Finn
Ned being courteous
Michael’s bright smile
Ella’s perfect assignment passed in
Owen in his bow tie
Izzi throwing spirals
Mrs. Melcher’s marvelous greetings
Mr W wiping down the tables
Mrs. Breen’s little announcements
Now, we even miss tests and faculty meetings!
Because school isn’t school
Just because we do lessons
Saint Paul School can’t be replicated online
What makes us so special isn’t our curriculum
It’s the love in our hearts, yours and mine.
So we’ll do this for now
As long as we’re told
We know we must keep our minds awake.
But we pray to Jesus, to heal our sick world
Because it’s more than our education at stake.
Feeling connected
Bonding and joking
A wink, a nod, or a smile
It will go back to normal when we get back to school.
This will only last for a while.
Miss you guys! We got this!
Mrs. Woodgate
