(Parody of Fight Song by Rachel Patten)
Note: It helps to play the song while reading these lyrics.

Just a small square
on my laptop
smiling at me
from Zoom
a child away from school
still hoping to touch.
I can only remotely reach
but I can spread learning.

The learning games we couldn't play,
final hugs and last high fives,
I cleaned out desks and stood alone
as we waved our last good-byes.

I am a teacher.
Remote or in school.
Paper or email.
My phone has full charge.
My admin cheers me on.
Coworkers share plans.
And most of my students have full connectivity.
So I can still teach during social distancing.

Moving desks and a smaller class.
No sharing tools during math.
Plexiglass
and wearing masks.
Always ready to head back home
and go back to learning with zoom.
But I won't give up.
No I won't give up.

Signs in yards and car parades,
videos, virtual high fives,
mailing cards and sharing food.
We haven't said our last good-byes.

I am a teacher.
Remote or in school.
Paper or email.
My phone has full charge.
My admin cheers me on.
Coworkers share plans.
And most of my students have full connectivity.
So I can still teach during social distancing.
Covid won't stop me.

Just a small square
on my laptop
smiling at me
from Zoom
A child away from school
still hoping to touch.
I can only remotely reach
but I can spread learning.

I am a teacher.
Remote or in school.
Paper or email.
My phone has full charge.
My admin cheers me on.
Coworkers share plans.
And most of my students have full connectivity.
So I can still teach during social distancing.

I can still teach during social distancing.
