Wright Place at Wright Time
Students in math teacher Pat Wright’s class have always developed a strong understanding of the concepts in the eighth-grade curriculum. During the pandemic, she has had to engage kids in numerous new ways and methods.
According to her, “When the pandemic hit last spring, people asked me if I was ready to retire. My response was that it made me know I didn’t want to retire. I love teaching. This is our new normal. We learned to adapt, and we keep adapting. Every lesson is a challenge to do my best with the onsite restrictions and to find a way to do each lesson with my virtual class. We are all doing our best in this unique situation.”
She continues to make her in-person and online classes fascinating and exciting in mathematics for all of her students.
