“The 6 and 7-year-olds I have the privilege of teaching this year really enjoyed this one,” she said. Hall said she read “Worry Says What” to her students last week. “It is a great source for parents to resource to have some conversation points,” Hall said about recommending Bailey’s book. Hall shared five books with News 6 for parents to consider reading with their children to help them process the current situation. But then give them those coping skills to be able to manage them in a healthy way is really going to make a huge difference,' she said. 'So being able to have those conversations and let their children know whatever they're feeling, it's okay. She is encouraging parents to not only focus on the books but to talk to their students as well and help them understand their emotions during this unprecedented time. 'They're the experts on their children, so being able to leverage what they already know about their children and then create an environment where they're going to feel successful and safe and happy and excited about learning is really what is critical now,' Hall said. But she said parents know their children best. She adds this time may be challenging for not only the students but also for their parents. 'Being able to contribute to this conversation of what this looks like in our classrooms and how this is working for not only the teachers, but our families is really important.' 'There's so much that's changing in our education world for not only teachers, but families and also students,' she said.

Governor Ron DeSantis asked Hall to share how it has been going so far during a news conference this week. It's been two weeks since students started learning in their homes instead of classrooms. Hall also won the award for the 2020 Seminole County Public Schools teacher of the year. 'Teachers are famous for stepping up to the plate and rising above to meet any challenge.' 'It's really been seamless, which is incredible,' Hall said. Longwood Elementary teacher Sarah Hall said it was a big transition to distance learning, but teachers had the tools they needed. – Many parents in Florida are helping their kids attend class in a virtual classroom setting amid the spread of the coronavirus.
