As I sit here in my \u201chome office\u201d (in very comfortable clothing I might add), answering work emails and preparing to teach my classes, I am enjoying hearing things I wouldn\u2019t normally encounter when doing work at the office.<\/span><\/p>\n

My son, a sophomore at the College, is practicing his piano lessons. (April, rejoice!)<\/span><\/p>\n

My niece, a sophomore at the College (who lives with us permanently) is sitting on the deck on this beautiful day in shorts and sunglasses, participating in a remote class through an online learning platform. (Jeff, rejoice!)<\/span><\/p>\n

My daughter, a senior at the College, is going over the dance she choreographed for Dance Production, to adapt it to be recorded in a new format. (Erin, rejoice!)<\/span><\/p>\n

My husband, who works for the College, is on the phone talking through logistics for an upcoming abroad trip. (Chrissy and Leah, rejoice!)<\/span><\/p>\n

And my oldest daughter, who graduated from the College, is home and working remotely on her TEFL certificate. (I rejoice!)<\/span><\/p>\n

What is wonderful is that learning is continuing and we are adapting, and I am filled with gratitude for all the efforts our college administration, faculty, and students already have put and are continuing to put into making this work. We are a resilient, dedicated, and committed community of learners here at Principia, who care deeply about each other.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thanks to you all!<\/span><\/p>\n

Kristin Halsey is an instructor and student support specialist, and her kitties have had no problems adapting to all the remote learning happening at home.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n
