  • I'm a middle school math teacher and I set up my new classroom, organized and rearranged furniture, and cleaned. This was filmed a few weeks ago and this week I rearranged the room to be more socially distanced. I'll share what I have done hopefully later this week!

    Are y'all not spacing your students 6ft apart? What are the regulations your school is putting in for covid? I hope you're able to stay safe

      Students move in pods so they are only exposed to the other students in their classes, the teachers have similar seating charts so students are close to the same students throughout the day. The class release is staggered and there are no lockers this year. Teachers clean the desks between class periods with a specific disinfectant. Masks are required for teachers, students, and staff unless you're able to properly social distance (which no classroom has the space to do that). Water fountains are closed except the part that pours into a water bottle and the school is providing water bottles. The cafeteria is spread out so there are half the students there at a time. We made a PowerPoint this year called "Pandemic Procedures" that most of the teachers shared with their students on the first day.
      I filmed the first day of school (this past Friday) and will share all of this in more detail. Thank you for your good wishes 🙂

    I wish I would have had a teacher like you. All the teachers when I was school age were all boring / run down or down right scary looking (apart from two of them).
    One of them I met about 20 years later and found out that she was (when teaching) a new teacher but she got pregnant so left teaching (met her kid even). The second teacher appeared to be new and he was a darn good teacher (dare I say the best in the school) . He taught grade 6.
    School was different back then as kids respected their teachers (most of the time) and there was discipline and no cell phones to distract the kids.
    I hope you keep your optimism as it is easy to lose after years of teaching.
