We\u2019ve been following Sarah on Instagram for a while (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/_bigheartlittleminds_\/\">@_bigheartlittleminds_<\/a>) and love everything she posts! Check out our Q&amp;A with her below to hear more about her must-have school supply and thoughts on being a newbie teacher during the Covid-19 pandemic.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are you looking forward to most this\u00a0fall?<\/strong>\u00a0My favorite part of the fall is\u00a0building relationships with my new students!<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is your favorite school supply and why?<\/strong>\u00a0I have a love for any type of colored pens! Flair,\u00a0Paper\u00a0Mate,\u00a0InkJoy\u2014I don\u2019t discriminate! They help me organize my\u00a0planner and\u00a0help me organize my groups for teacher time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why did you go into teaching?<\/strong>\u00a0This\u00a0answer is\u00a0threefold. I always grew up loving the environment\u202fof school and being a learner. I also love children\u00a0and always knew I\u2019d want to work with kids someday. Lastly, I had\u00a0great\u00a0teachers\u202fgrowing\u202fup and wanted to have the same impact on others.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is one thing you learned teaching through the pandemic that you will carry with you into future school years<\/strong>?\u00a0Students will get behind academically, but the priority is and always will be caring for them and tending to their social-emotional\u202fneeds. Academics\u202fcan be made up for, but the social-emotional learning at this age is so vital, it cannot be overlooked\u00a0or\u00a0skimped on.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is something positive that you saw come out of\u00a0COVID-19?<\/strong>\u00a0I\u00a0was able\u00a0to explore different types of technology, many of which I\u00a0continue to\u00a0use in my classroom!<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the biggest challenge you\u2019ve faced in your teaching career?\u202f<\/strong> My biggest challenge is feeling whether or not I\u2019m doing enough. There are nights that I can\u2019t fall asleep because I worry about students. I am always wondering if they will be OK. There never seems to be enough time in the day to support and help each one of them.<\/p>\n<p>For more Teacher Spotlights, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teacherlists.com\/blog\/category\/teacher-spotlights\/\">click here<\/a>.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meet Sarah Poquette!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":54,"featured_media":12767,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[4206,4211],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v19.3 (Yoast SEO v19.13) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Teacher Spotlight: Sarah Poquette - TeacherLists Blog<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"This month we caught up with Sarah Poquette, a 1st grade teacher in Grafton, MA.
