Ask any student at Montpelier’s Union Elementary School who Mrs. Kane is and they may answer, “She’s one of the specials.” At UES, the “special teachers” (officially the Interactive Arts Team) are those who teach P.E., music, library, or, in Kristina Kane’s case, art. In this year of COVID, they are partnering with classroom teachers to teach academic subjects in person using the pod model. In addition, these teachers create their own virtual lessons for all UES students.
Not every family can afford to buy art supplies, so Kane began by boxing up art supplies. “Equity is important,” she says, “So I sent home sets of colored pencils, crayons, and pastels to everyone.” Then she began to plan for the 2020–2021 school year. “Teaching virtually is challenging, but it gives you an opportunity to do something new, something fresh.”
PORTSMOUTH – Cupid made an appearance in the city on the eve of Valentine s Day.
Someone, or a group of people, blanketed the city with bright red hearts overnight before the holiday Sunday.
The hearts were on letter-sized paper. They adorned businesses, restaurants, churches and more, putting smiles on the faces of residents, store owners and tourists.
A Valentine Phantom first appeared in Portland, Maine more than 40 years ago
A Valentine Phantom is believed to have first appeared in Portland, Maine, more than 40 years ago. And there were hearts again in Portland on Sunday, according to reports. The lovely tradition has spread across the country, with groups of unidentified people secretly decorating downtown areas each year.
