This year, teachers have struggled to navigate pandemic teaching. They’ve put in hours of extra work to master unfamiliar technology, often juggling teaching in-person students and remote students at the same time. Parents are desperately trying to help their children stay on top of the workload, but despite all these best efforts, some students are slipping behind. First grade teachers Melissa Hadley, left, Susan Winters, Cherie Penrod and Jill Shaub hold bottles of hand sanitizer as they sing a line from the “Twelve Days of Christmas,” with a COVID-19 twist, for a holiday video at Snow Springs Elementary School in Lehi on Monday, Dec. 7, 2020.
