In March of 2020, teachers and students alike were forced to completely reimagine what ‘going to school’ would look like in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic. Abruptly and without warning, students were told to gather their essential items and become computer technology pros in a matter of days, in order to reconnect with their teachers and classmates from home. This story, told through the eyes of a child, takes a close and thoughtful look at what was lost in the transition to remote learning. I Miss My Teacher is filled with honest feelings and reminiscence from the perspective of the elementary school student. Filled with colorful and poignant illustrations, this book captures the essence and importance of the teacher-student relationship and can help your child navigate and process their feelings during this challenging time.
