HALF MOON BAY — Brenda De Jesus Acosta runs her kindergarten class at Half Moon Bay’s Hatch Elementary School through the “three Rs” – reading, writing and arithmetic. But for De Jesus Acosta, the letter R also stands for the respect she has for her young students and everything they’ve been through since the COVID pandemic.“I tell the kids all the time, this is your space! You can tell me if you feel sad, if you feel happy, if you’re worried.
“It was a lot. I don’t know. Like more than 10 hours,” recalled De Jesus Acosta. “I was coming in here in the morning, and setting up for Zoom. After Zoom, setting up for the small sessions. And then staying to prep for the next week because we were sending home homework packets for every week.”“Three weeks into teaching my whole family was hit with COVID, myself included,” said De Jesus Acosta. “So we did deal with navigating COVID in such an unknown time because it was right at the beginning.
