Classroom Setup During a Pandemic | Back to School 2020
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 сен 2024
- My classroom setup this year is WAY different than ever before since we are currently in the middle of a pandemic. I know districts all over the world have been coming up with different plans for going back to school this year. My district's full plan hasn't been released yet, but as of now they are planning on us going back full time with social distancing and masks. Obviously that can change at any time since things are rapidly changing every day, but in this video I take you along with me as I setup my room to meet the current recommendations.

The way the desks are set it looks like it’s a test going on😭😭😭 edit: omg this comment has more likes then my RUclips vids💀😭😭
Aquilah Farrell omg that’s what I thought
Frrrr
Aquilah Farrell I know!! 😭
frfr 😭
Thats true....it is a test/playing with our childrens health/life.and everyone else involved...not only is the distance that they need but the air they breath...is closed doors..the air coditioner has to be disinfecting continuously to make sure its safe..including the hand wash,masks,sanitizer, etc
I’m watching this before school starts so that I can be at least a little mentally prepared for the weirdness
No Thanks same
Omg same
same lol
Same I can't touch my friends either
Awww I’m not even going back. :( my school started its own home school program so that even after the pandemic kids can choose if they want o do homeschool through the districts program or go back to school to control class sizes
Seeing the desks spread out like that is so heartbreaking. 😓💔
I know!!!! 😭😭😭
Once Upon A Teacher it seems pretty hard for the kids to pass the papers to other kids
@@SpongeB00b_is_a_savage I don't think that students will be able to pass any papers. Less contact.
@@mtorres9069 yh in my school we can't physically hand in work. We have to take a photo and send it to the teacher
I hope there’s room for me after online class 💀💀
I just want to know, how students are going to be 6ft apart in the hallways of any school...the school hallways aren't 6ft apart...
i think what gonna happend one by one enter the class room
@Lizbeth V. Ngl all this sounds scary, if they're watching formation in hallways, by a bell, with brick walls, to sit through a class...kind of sounds like...jail...I'm staying home😅oml
Unfortunately, my school (high school) is dismissing us by last names for each period. Those with A-L go first, walk in a single line one way towards where their class is, then M-S go, then T-Z go.
@@ru_k3 you're absolutely right it's very sad that young children May be going through that. I am a sophomore in high school, I trust the students in my school so personally I will be attending school but only 2 days out of the week. I wouldn't suggest sending younger children back for the simple fact that they are very young. I hope we all can get through this safely. Have a nice school year.
They cant do much, after some time it will seem like nothing really changed.
This makes my heart sad! I can't imagine kids sitting this far apart or not returning. Believe me I do not want my students to get sick or myself but I am not emotionally ready. Blessings sweet friend! I just noticed you are 2 away from a 1,000 subscribers! Congratulations!
In nc we are going back August 17 but it will be online and plan to go back with mask in Octobermy b days in September on the bright side of things
Thanks so much, Michelle!!! And I agree!! It’s so hard to mentally prepare when there are so many unknowns!!! This will definitely be the craziest year I’ve ever taught!!! Sending hugs to you!!!
@@saracoleman886 what online my internet is not working nor my computer so my sister is afraid mask what about Asthma kids also my school not too big and to many kids no six feet apart
@@MollyMaloy congrats on your subscribers keep up the great work here my little sister going back to school but I know is not safe even with mask because the hall are tiny and not six feet apart
John Mcclane my daughter has very bad asthma and we have been encouraged for her to always wear a mask while out and about. This is by her regular doctor and her lung specialists. There has been a lot of misinformation about asthma and masks. She has always worn a mask when on certain medications(steroids or anything that affected her immune system) way before COVID. They have said absolutely no cloth masks...she has to wear surgical masks only.
I only want to go back to school to see my friends but i don't want to deal with all this I wish the virus was gone😪😭
Hi name twin!
Same
Same
Someday the virus goes away just keep hope for it.
Even if they make a vaccine for the virus, that doesn’t mean it’s ever going to “go away.” It’s a pandemic now and will more than likely end up and endemic like the seasonal flu or even the common cold. Social distancing should become the new norm for us, the world we live in will never truly go back to the way things were. Yes we should stay hopeful that we as the human race learns to control it and take care of each other, but to sit in your room praying for things to be the way they were a year ago... is just sad and a little foolish. We shouldn’t wish for things to be the way they were, we should wish for things to be better, always move forward. Celebrate that your friends survived instead of moping around that you can’t hang out in tight cliques at the movies or the mall.
I honestly hope that after the virus isn't a worry anymore that they try and keep it so that they have smaller class sizes
Same! The classes I signed up for in highschool have about 31 kids in them! That's to many for me!
Anna Camilleri too*
Anna Camilleri bruh really in my elementary every single class had 30-35
@@sleepyghostblue omg how did u survive!
D. Va fr i don't think i have ever learned anything in a class bigger than 30 😭
I just realized the kids that didn’t know what personal space was will be yelled at for having their stuff near other kids ong.
Edit: wow thanks for the likes. Also, I don’t know how the replies turned into dorms. I was talking about desk space but yk I’ll just sit and read. 😺
Well , dig that well too much and the kids might start yelling out too .
Take it from me a former autistic SPED school student .
What about people who are going into college they have to share a dorm room don’t they
Ella Heckel true or they might have separate rooms idk
Ella Heckel each college is handling it different! Mine personally has super strict rules currently and I believe the smaller living quarters are being lowered to one student per dorm. I live in apartment style housing and we’re supposed to space ourselves out such as, one person being in shared quarters at a time and one person being in the bedroom at a time unless sleeping which I imagine our beds will probably have to be at least 6 ft apart
Ella Heckel at my sisters college they are having one person in each dorm!
The thought of even going back to school gives me so much anxiety. It's going to be so difficult when I can't even talk to my friends or socialize with anyone.
ugh thank you. it’s becoming a dread over nothing and i don’t get how people don’t see this. this is already a pretty antisocial generation and it’s getting worse
EXACTLY!!! And this year I wanted to be know as the girl that is nice and shares with everyone but now I can’t 😂 and I’m also scared because we have been out so long that they will judge my new looks lol 😂 🥺😭😭😭
Lushivil 😂 ty 😏😏😂😂😂
And we have to wear masks it will be hard to talk
I just do not want to wear a mask but my school isn’t open it’s just going to be online classes never thought I would be homeschooled in my life 😪
This feels like a math problem. What is the maximum number of desks that can fit in a room if every desk must be 6 feet apart?
Well then there is many factors left out like how wide is the classroom and the total length of cubic area as well. Meaning the actual question would be how many x amount of desks can fit 6ft apart in y wide and z length of the classroom? Idk why I'm saying this but I guess to prepare you??
it’s depends on the class room length
Well you left out the length of the classroom. And the length of the desks
@@blueberrypi3103 you think I understand I am even more confused
@@Itzmia_duh Sorry
I still remember when i could sit at a group with all my friends.. I’m gonna miss them from 6 feet away, my heart is shattered💔
royale . luna I know and how you were so happy when you got put with your friends or the funny people now I can’t even sit with anyone 😭😭😭
royale . luna I will not talk to nobody I will not talk the whole day I will demand the teacher to give me a seat at the back in the corner I mean I love to talk but this virus I ain’t playing ima bring a whole bottle of cleaning supplies I ain’t getting sick today
I wanna go hug my friends :/
Damn I wish I could socialize like that
It's Lena same 😪
I honestly love the 6 feet rule I don't like sitting next to people lol
ahahaha
Ikr you can finally have sum privacy😂👏
YES! i also got really good school supplies, so no stealing!!
Finally the people next to me can’t cheat of me 😂
NotSoCuteOtaku sameee😭 i hate when people steal my cute supplies like can’t they their ownnn😫
I'm so stoked no more group projects cause I can't with my social anxiety.
spooky crossaint honestly thriving
Only good thing about this lol!
Same especially doing it with random people I always seem to end up doing most of the work even my parents tell me to stop doing all the work and buying all the materials it’s just usually I end up with a bad group and my teachers don’t switch me out.
i couldn’t relate more
I end up doing most of the work anyways
I like how she is making a video on this stuff cause then us students can see how stuff is going to look and work
I’m going back to school soon and my school lets you choose whether or not you want to go to school in person. i really wanna stay home but it’s soooo hard for me to learn online
Same my school let’s us choose I work so much and is much more organized with paper and stuff. But my school chrome book is so bad and stuff like I wanna use my own laptop for school
same
Same but i also kinda want to go because I’m going to middle school!
•brenna• same it’s difficult
same once my school shut down i didn’t do any homework i tried to but i can concentrate on it so i just don’t do it
My neighborhood did a survey and 80% of parents would not be sending their kids back to school. We live in Miami so its understandable. I wonder what the first day of school will be like here. Luckily my son is 2 and im pregnant so school wont happen for maybe another 2 yrs. I started school at 3 but I was in korea.
I hope they do the right thing because the high schools in Miami are not clean 24/7
So hopefully we are online 😩
I'm in Miami too, there was no way I was going to send my 4th grader back.
the district I live in sent a survey around and 80% of the parents said they would prefer sending their kids back to school and only 20% preferred online instruction. I live in Kentucky :/ (im not a parent myself, in fact I am a freshman in high school but I feel like if I were a parent I wouldn't send my child back or even think of reopening when the pandemic is clearly getting worse)
Girl ur so lucky. I have to go back. But also I'm happy just because my county isn't bad yayyy
I’m a middle school student with a total over populated school and tiny tiny class rooms in every class there can be about 15 students when there are usually 30-34 kids in each class. It’s really stressful to think about😔
im a high schooler and yes it’s stressful..hopefully the virus stops soon
I still don’t see how this is gonna stop the spread...
sanfords weird it’s just going to make it worse but oh well
SIS NEEDS TEA :] exactly my school had this virtual meeting because it wasn’t safe enough for them to discuss how they’re going to have over 1 thousand students in the building 🤦🏻♀️
SIS NEEDS TEA :] like for a fact i know schools are going to close down again 🤷🏻♀️
SIS NEEDS TEA :] we have to wear masks unless we’re in the classroom. and our desks are super far apart and we’re staying in one classroom and only like 10-15 in each classroom
there probably gonna check the kids tempature and get them all shots before they go
When we’re all older, and having to tell the story of quarantine and corona, and how school was, I will be showing them this vid
It’s so crazy seeing the desks laid out like that. It’s definitely going to be a challenge to teach like this. I’m not looking forward to it.
I know!!! I feel like it just made everything so much more “real!” And it’s so crazy how much different it will be teaching like this!!!
@@MollyMaloy what district are you in ?
Lucky 🥺🥺🥰
Lucy why more challenging, fewer kids means less distractions. This is how it should have been all along, classrooms are way too crowded imo.
This honestly makes me sad looking at the desks, im heading to middle school in about 2 weeks. We have to wear masks, stay six feet apart etc. Im not ready for this year!! I hope you and your students stay healthy always!
is this your first time in middle school? if so, PLEASE ENJOY IT IT GOES BY SO FAST 😭 i’m already going into the ninth grade!
@@trahadbad middle school is great itself but, when you compare it, high school is amazing!
I'm just gonna tell you rn, just be prepared to do like 5-10 times more the work than you did in elementary, because middle school hits you like a truck, especially if you were one of those kids who didnt care about homework/grades and would goof around and stuff. Cause now your grades really do matter now, and the teachers don't joke around. After the first half of the school year or so you get used to it but just be prepared. A lot of my friends and classmates always agreed that middle school hits like a truck so I thought I'd just give you a heads up now lol. It gets fairly easy after and it's like normal, but at first it's just so much and can be overwhelming so be prepared lol. I wish you luck!
Going into 8th grade just don’t get into drama and surround yourself with good friend and take care of yourself and take a break when you need it
ii_RedPandaTray I live in Canada but if I was in amacara I would be in middle school and I have the same rules I want to go dack but at the same time please don’t let me goooo mooom
My high school is too big to go back even at half capacity so we have online school until at least December. Amazing way to start off freshman year lol.
right. im a freshman now too but also id rather miss out on that than get sick and be on a ventilator.
Allison L. yeah same, I really don’t trust people in my school to social distance
this is my first year of high school too :(
@@itsskaylee my name is also kaili (pronounced kay-lee). my tip for you with online school is to know how to make balance & create timely routines during work hour. Remember to take breaks because too much exposure to a screen is not good for your health and it's not good to cram too much information in your brain under the same hour , and know how to manage your time with each course & assignment.
Felt that freshman part. Like bruh this is one crazy way to spend your freshman year😭
The fact that people are even going back to school is crazy.
As I high school student I actually want to go back, the in person school is more 1 on 1. I’ll take my chances with a virus I may or may not get instead of going online.
Kimchi city or county decision, has nothing to do with trump, he has advocated that he wants to reopen schools but who wouldn’t. At the end of the day the city/country decides. Keep your narrow minded opinions outta here.
I want to go back so badly to see my friends! But I have alrrady been signed up for onlinr school. :(
am i the only one here that dont wanna go back.???
I can’t learn while at home, too many distractions. I have asthma but my grandmother is making me wear two masks in order to try to keep me from getting it.
My wife is a teacher in Arkansas. They told her to try to get 3 feet between students, but it’s not possible because she has tables in her class. They are going to get dividers to put between the students. It’s going to be interesting to see how it all turns out.
Yea that’s what happening for my school
Aren't the students/desks supposed to be 6' from one another??
Just imagine if the kids start breaking the dividers and then eventually outrage the school for them to stop wearing masks, even though it’s for their own safety, I would be crazy
I’m going to be in grade 8 when school starts, I really hope that at my school we will be able to go with safety measures and I will get to see my friends almost everyday again.. :( I really like going to school..
Ooo good luck! I’m going into 9th and I had so much fun in 8th. It was hard sometimes (because one of my “best friends” started bullying me) but it was a lot of fun most of the time and just such a good experience. And even the not so good parts helped me become a better person and realize that some people are just mean lol. But anyway, I hope you have a good year (even with all this) and I wish you good luck!
No Thanks
Thank you sooo much! I hope I have a good time and good luck for 9th aswell!
@@friendlyneighborhoodloser2639 I FEEL bad for you, Gl in 9th grade, goin in no friends freshmen year hurt (For me)
12 grade next year, wonder how much of a meme this gonna be
I'm going into 8th grade too
No Thanks I’m going into 9th too! I’m super nervous lol
I miss school😭😭 at first i was like gonna be fun!! But nooo. It’s so boring I wanna go back to school!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I knew I was gonna hate this bc I don't like being home all day every day
I wanted to go to school, but when mine announced we're going back my mind changed bc i dont want to actually see ppl
@Blossoms Life I'm the opposite lol
Bruh imagine some kids ain’t even gonna Know what school was really like pre COVID
I honestly teared up watching you put the desks apart. My first time really seeing how this may look in our classrooms. Thanks for sharing your journey, Molly!
It was definitely an emotional day! And thanks for your sweet comment Sierra!!! 💕
@Yosif Al Mohamad How is this contributing to child abuse?
It’s interesting to see how schools will be set up
Watching this and realizing there's no way my classroom has enough space for this. Fingers crossed we don't go back during the height of this pandemic :/
Same my class is small :c
Half of your class might do online school
@@florenceaduffah4819 hopefully bro o dont wanna worry but knowing the area i live i have to expect a good amount of student's
@@vi3w3d even in lecture halls.. how do you even make space? you have so many students, and some lecture class rooms have these chairs that are attached to the rows of desks you see, so you can noway move out any chair into space, the only option is either having students be apart from each seating or to either have less students come in and the rest i don't know what, like i said it's a lecture being taught by a major, you can only be educated that major with your professor who teaches you your major, i don't even know how this is going to work out.
Why continue to put on the " show ". The kids are packed into a bus on the way to school.
PERIODT
Thank you
well my school they are having more buses so kids won’t be near each other but i’m sure the kids won’t listen i don’t ride the bus tho 😌💅
There is not goign to be alot of people going to school all together
D L most likely ,since this is SoCal, (I used to live there) there probably aren’t an extreme amount of kids riding the bus but either way they probably will have more so only half the amount of capacity will be on the bus. Probably one kid per seat
Our schools have been overcrowded and now we pay the price!
you literlly seem like the best teacher ever
I agree 😂
I totally appreciate your showing the reality of what classroom set up looks like this year!
Tina K Thanks Tina! Setup this year is definitely way different than all my previous years of teaching!!
Molly Maloy I’m right there with you. We don’t return until September in Washington State, my district hasn’t finalized any plans yet.
Setting up the desks is easy compared to “setting up “ kids. Kids won’t stay statically in their seats like robots! Good try, though.
all schools require this type of desk placement however none of the preventative measures will actually prevent anything
This is a requirement from the CDC for all schools.
In Belgium we already had to do this .. but after some time they weren’t spread apart that far away anymore. And even later we worked in bubbles, class bubbles (first small bubbles and later bigger bubbles). Because students will get closer to each other if you want it or not 😃 we as teachers had to keep our distance and wear masks
Teachers in 2019: “Kids move your desk in testing locations!” Teachers in 2020: Hold my apple. ( if you get the reference then thank goodness!!)
I like the positive attitude of this teacher. Working for her kids instead of whining.
Your classroom seems pretty big and the desks took up most of it, so I’m just trying to think of ways the the teachers in my school are going to do this in their smaller classrooms! I didn’t realize how much the classroom was going to change!
I pray that God Protects you and all the teachers and students as school starts. 🙏❤️
I honestly hope every school district does online school until corona is done. And this is coming from an 8th grader that hates online school 😭
Mattie Decker my mom is letting me go in person, which is better for me since I literally can’t focus when doing online school, I don’t feel motivated.
jayden a. Same but my mom is still making me do online
My school system is only doing 3 feet apart... there’s a reason why the recommendation is 6 feet, I am definitely not going to school in person this fall.
If the desks are like that, every time I go in, I will have a small heart attack and yelled “TEST”
I'm just wondering how we gonna eat lunch when we cant take off the mask
S t u f f i n m a s k a n d m u n c h 🙄 🙄
Honestly it’s sad our schools are opening when everything should be shut down again.
Well atleast we have the choice of going back or staying home. Also not everyone is fortunate and there is SO many kids suffering at home because their home life is miserable. School is our only escape sometimes. We're all taking precautions so it's not sad that schools are reopening. It's actually great.
chqrmolypi it’s kinda of sad because yes kids may have bad homes but what happens if they get sick? Nothing might happen to the kids but what about if they expose their parents/ grandparents that are at risk and expose their friends and those friends expose their own grandparents. I don’t think school should be opening up rn when some states are looking at closing back down again (my personal opinion and no hate!)
exactly, we are having a huge second wave. if we shut down again it might end in a few months but reopening could make it last years
I just want to say, she’s just doing this for the best of her students.
sitting 6 feet apart won’t do anything if we’re all breathing the same air..
Masks
@@carolinacruz3114 there's still a good chance of someone getting sick
Carolina Cruz masks don’t help
bc it’s airborne
@@sophiakay3631 I know
I just want to say I really appreciate your positivity and attitude during such a difficult time ❤️🙏🏻
Thank you so much, Katelin! I know that whatever happens I will still be focused on making learning fun and engaging for my students!
Congrats on hitting 1k I was the 999 sub congrats😁
Yay!!!!! Thank you so much!!!!! 💕
The fact that your school is making you go back in-person...Woooo chile!
That is soo sad. Really seeing that breaks anyones heart. Well good luck this next school year.
Thank you so much!!!
i am going to be a sophmore this year and there is no way im staying home for online school because it drove me insane and i didnt have the motivation and was always sad, angry, or just not feeling like doing it. I loved being in class and I really don't want it to change. This whole covid thing is blown out of proportion. There is no way im gonna be able to social distance because the hallways are so small, most classrooms are so small, and most of the classes have long tables, not desks. i really think there wont be a problem if we just go back to the way things normally were. it would be better for the mental health of students too.
see we can’t really go back to normal, the goal is to stop the spread by not social distancing, not wearing a mask, and being oblivious to what’s happening isn’t going to stop the spread. It messed with my mental health too but if i have to do online school to not get sick and prevent people from getting sick i will do so. We have to make sacrifices in life sometimes.
Kailani Vasquez yes I understand that, but everyone’s situation is different. I live in a very very small town and there was very very very few cases here. So my school is still taking precautions for when we go back the 25th, but we are not required to wear masks and you can choose to stay home or be online. But I’m just saying not a lot of people have large schools or have internet access where I live, which a lot of people at my school and my old elementary/middle school don’t either. Not everyone has internet and would just want to go back to school. They can’t force everyone to stay home from school if they don’t want to.
Tomnita ya plus think of all the kids who can’t stay at home again because their parents can’t watch them at home. It’s sad for those families I also think if we keep hiding from the virus it could just turn into a cycle of when it gets better people come out and then there’s another wave of cases.
I can understand why big cities are closing down though like New York because it’s easier to spread there. And I saw a change in how I learned too. Especially for my language class sign language, I forgot a lot of the information because I wasn’t physically in the classroom interacting and following with the teacher because you need to remember the signs in order to learn it and it’s harder to remember them if you don’t see someone doing it.
jrseahorse yep I agree, I don’t know why people just won’t open up and let the virus run it’s course. Like how the flu or any other virus/bacteria runs their course. I honestly think wearing masks harm you more then help you because you breathe in your carbon dioxide that you breathe out and it can give you a respiratory infection, which there was more of those from masks then corona cases in my town. My town only had around 20 cases lol
I was recently reopening the NJ School Reopening Plan for the fall, and I noticed just how much will be so different. Much more than I imagined, and know as of now, but I just wanted to let all the teachers know that me and many others appreciate all the hard work you are doing right now to keep us safe. It's a huge transition for all of us, and I wish you all the best of luck! I will be a Freshman in high school this year, and I already can't wait for this to be over so I can experience the opportunities that will be soon to open up to me! Keep moving forward, and remember that this will not be forever. One day we will all say "remember COVID-19/the pandemic?" One day, which may seem far, but will come. We just need to keep pushing, so keep up the great work!👍✨✨
I live in new Jersey 😃
Its west New York the same as NJ??
•error elle• west New York is what we call the small area in North Nee Jersey that’s around the Hudson. For example Edgewater NJ is in west New York because it is west of New York and on the other side of the Hudson River. I’m from north jersey that’s why we say it like that.😊
1:00 the kids vibing in the back lol
I would recommend staying at home children are at risk what is the why go to school when u can stay home and be safe and don’t have to worry about being exspoxed to Covid 19
if everyone exposed them selves to this virus and went back to life like normal we would get a small bit of the virus called an antibody. our bodies would fight it off them remember it. that’s why we have an immune system hiding isn’t doing anything
Kaitlyn Warden your so right hiding won’t do anything
Kaitlyn Warden Exactly! I heard of a nurse saying that when she gets back from the hospital everyday, she doesn’t shower right away and likes to hug her kids so that they could get a portion of the virus. Makes sense when u really think about it🤷🏻♀️
Why drive a car when people like to drink and drive?
Celene's Crazy World wtf........
Online is the best option this is not safe, what about when classes switch, buses, hallways, lunch time, lunch lines, bathrooms, etc.
that’s ridiculous
I agree it’s safer but in my opinion it’s A LOT harder to learn online and it was very confusing. But just my opinion 💖💖💖
The only thing i look forward to at school is friends and meeting new people i am really lonely and haven't been feeling too good mentally during quarantine and my parents wont let me have online friends and they take all their amger out on me as im the only kid home rn its just tough and theres basically no motivation for anything anymore and nothing i do is good enough according to my parents, i miss having school friends
I don't like online school. I'm a honour student and online school is not for me . Also my country has no cases. The last case we had was in April of early May
my school is doing online school for the beginning and then going back in september
Same I’m from Houston and they’re doing online school for the first four weeks then hopefully they start putting students back at school in small groups
I can't imagine any right minded parent sending their child to an elementary school, and I live in Canada. I certainly wouldn't.
In the Netherlands children are allowed to be close with eachother. Adults need to stay 6 feet apart. Schools were open before the holiday. And last week of August we open normal again!
Oh no
a random kid who likes pineapples well every country has different social distancing rules & if im being honest countries in europe have the lease amount of cases so it’s safer for them to go to school. the US on the other hand..nah
I bet this is what my daughters teachr is doing now! Thank to all our teacher for keeping our children safe! You guys are life savers to i cant be more happy !
Typically I’m a big fan of kids returning to school as I think social interaction is vital for young children. However all these restrictions shown here, on top of having to wear masks all day, and extremely limited physical contact - I can’t see how children won’t be stressed in this environment. I’ve also heard kids likely won’t even be able to have papers passed out, it will have to be digital. So the question is, what’s the point of reopening if kids cannot participate in their education fully?
Bless all the teachers in our country. We have a rough year ahead of us.
Kids shouldn’t be going to school this year. It’s just putting their lives and their family’s lives in danger. Not to mention these teachers ☹️
what? if we exposed our selves to the virus and went back to normal we would get an antibody. our body’s would fight it off and remember it. we have immune systems for a reason and we get sick it’s a part of life.
I hope this was a sarcastic comment.
Kaitlyn Warden the amount of ignorance and fallacy in this comment is almost laughable haha
What the- watch the elementary kids get depression after being in quarantine so long
Kaitlyn Warden Honestly, at this point, I’m just going through these comments and reading what u have to say. I agree 100% and thank u for sharing these and writing them before I could😂🙏🏻😊
I’m glad that my state has decided to make the first two quarters online.. with our schools being overpacked and classrooms being built too small there is no legitimate way to social distance 25-35 students in one class
You might can put your desk in the back we’re the stuff that’s leaving out your classroom is
Great bubbly personality, you must be a great teacher to connect with her students!
Teachers are so valuable in our society people don’t understand, how many hats that you wear to help these kids every day is unbelievable
Thank you so much!! I really appreciate that! 💗
heads up for parents! My school can't even afford matching chairs let alone all of the sanitation needs with budget cuts. My classroom is 20 feetX 20 feet with 35 kids per class this year! I have tables so that means 2 per table meaning 1/2 foot distance between kids. No possible way for change I've tried! Masks for the kids will not be required! No temperature checks before getting on the bus so avoid the busses! they won't send the whole bus back home either if one has a fever so the whole bus will spread it to the entire school in one day. The kids will be eating amongst each other with that 1/2 spaced distance! My fellow teachers all have very sour attitudes as do I of course who wouldn't! It will be a room full of negativity because no one wants to be there! The temperature to be sent home for our school is 101.5 but 101.4 is OK!!!!! Am I worried absolutely for the community because with kids in school all the other jobs are equally as dangerous now with the kids bringing it home then the parents bringing it to coworkers! Send em back! They might not even have an educator because many have resigned just like me! I am a researcher for a marine facility now so atlas i will have a year of bliss before suffocating!
Masks will be required because I'm being forced to wear it every single day 😒. The students are going back in groups meaning while some students are at school others are at home, of course this isn't going to prevent teachers from getting it because they're going to be there everyday. The kids on the buses will be six feet apart ( that won't happen) and honestly this year is going to be a disaster. This is for the state of Iowa by the way. We shouldn't be opening schools until there's a vaccine this is a terrible idea 🙄.
@@Mystic_Lyric I think its jsut different districts
I love how she likes to smile she is so postive
There’s no way kids can cheat with 6 feet lol 😂
when she talked I literally felt so happy you seem like such a nice person !!!
Love watching your videos! I’m a teacher in Scotland. Our kids have been learning from home since March 22nd and Summer started on June 26th. Scotland have had no COVID deaths for six consecutive days and we are now in phase 3 of our four phase model back to normality. We have pubs and salons reopening today and we can finally see a light at the end of this dark tunnel. Schools return on 10th August and in Scotland we will be returning at 100% capacity, full time in school and no social distancing between children. We don’t yet know about adults but at the moment adults must social distance and everyone over age 5 has to wear a mask (by law). I am thinking of you teachers in USA at this hard time. Sending lots of love your way.
You guys are doing it right!
Mary Muller thank you! We have a great leader in Nicola Sturgeon! It has just been confirmed that today marks seven days with no deaths! 🏴🤍
Yes, Nicola Sturgeon is a wonderful leader. Best wishes to you in Scotland. I am sending tons of love to everyone over there, especially over in Aviemore.
@@johnlopez3996 Thank you, John!
Wow I am so glad to hear this my country has 765 cases but only 56 are active ,the rest has recovered ,10 deaths and no one critically ill at the moment.I hope that one day we will be able to go outside without masks and go back to normal.
My fingers are crossed for you and all of the teachers that everyone can do remote learning in the fall.
I have to go back to school on August 14, but they are making it to where we can switch to online school whenever we need to.
Oh I got signed up for online all year I go back August 7
thats good!
If you go in person you can switch later on
“Just don’t know” is this years theme!
I teach 3rd in Florida, my class will max out at 18 however, the square footage of my room looks a little smaller than your classroom. I plan to tape off some areas where kids can sit alone, because I have always had a few students who need flexible seating. I have vinyl cushions that can be wiped down after use. I am anxiously awaiting the time that I can enter the classroom to set up. I have no idea what the school day will look like, but I will still do my best to make it fun. Face coverings are mandatory in our district so that will be interesting but my students almost always rise to the expectations I set for them so I am positively thinking that all will be ok.
Kids are not going to be able to see the screen from the far left side of the room. It’s crazy how different things are in California versus Georgia! I’m in Atlanta, which was also hit pretty hard and our numbers continue to rise, but my district is starting back with kids August 4th! Teachers start preplanning July 27th. But, they are giving families the option for virtual. Only about 10% have requested it yet, but they extended the deadline. I’m a SpEd teacher and when talking with other sped teachers and supervisors, we are all feeling completely not ready and feel like we’re flying the plane as we build it. I work with visually impaired kids, so that’s a whole other conversation! 😳 I’m ready to be back to normal like everyone else, but this year will not be normal and I know I’m freaking out a bit. Maybe if your district gives an option for virtual, your class size will decrease some.
It's kind've hard to tell from the video, but I think the desk is pulled back far enough that they will be able to see the screen ok! Who knows though, it is definitely not an ideal setup! And that is so weird how different each state is! You are going back so soon! We report back August 12th and then students come a week later. Our district is giving the option for virtual learning too, so it will be interesting to see what those numbers turn out like. That's interesting that it's only about 10% in your district! Good luck this year, I know this will definitely be a super weird year!
@@MollyMaloy I was thinking more of the kids in the very back and far corner of the room. But, literally a few hours after posting this, we received notification that based on DOE and health official recommendations that we will be virtual for all at least the first 9 weeks of school! It changes so fast!
I have all tables in my room so I’m dreading going back and switching all my furniture to desks!
A lot of teachers in our district have to do that too!! I'm sure that will be a lot different when you are used to tables!
@@MollyMaloy my math science and drama we used tables but I'm doing 100% online this year
I have tables also but there are no desks in the district. So basically, we're SOL!
OMG SO THIS IS HOW THE DESKS ARE well I'm just happy I'm goin back to school
I hope all these teachers that said not to go back to school know that doing online school it's just asking for depression or just feeling really down because not seeing your friends and teachers sucks all the joy out of going to school this generation has nothing to look forward to in school except for their friends field trips and sports online school takes all of that away it's just asking for kids to get depressed and for them not to do work
that is exactly how i feel
i mean it's better than being dead so
Haha not for me I have more time at home then at school I'm more free and can work on myself or find a hobby
@@melissaconway4385 Hello!!!!!! Exactly!!
Honestly I pray for you and your students, hopefully the situation will be normal again soon 💓🙏
Ur elementary school is like 4 times the size of the high school I’m goin to😓
Ha! I teach at a K-8 school!
Your neighborhood is so pure, you still have kids riding scooters and having fun as a child. In my neighborhood kids run around smoking and cursing😔.
I live in Georgia, and I’m going back august 10th! A lot of kids already went back to school shopping !!
We report back the 12th and then students come a week later! I feel like they just started putting out back to school supplies in our stores here!
Aye I’m from Georgia too and going back on the 10th
Wow! I’m in Pa and I Hi back on September 10th
luckyyy i’m in cobb so i have to wait til the 17th🥺
Sophie Van Ness omg I’m in Cobb too!
Both my parents are teachers and I had to help them do this yesterday! Kudos to you for helping keeping your kiddos safe! I know it’s hard n stressful right now and I hope you stay safe! I find it disappointing schools are making teachers risk their life to keep their jobs but I know you will be okay!
Thanks for sharing this journey. We need to support each other now more than ever! Enjoying your channel!!
Thanks so much, Mary!!
hopefully if y'all are in school. they will do a day/b day to help out with that class size!! thank you for sharing!
Both of the biggest districts near my district have also decided to start online and push the start day by a couple of weeks yet as of now our district has said we will keep the plan of going back 😬. It is so good to see how the classroom looks like with the spacing. It was definitely very helpful! Thank you!
i go to a small high school with rooms smaller than this and i can't help but think how they're gonna keep us distanced when even without social distancing there's a foot between desks. this is going to be a wild school year
My teacher is probably Going to be celebrating because we can’t talk to each other that well anymore because no one would hear us
People just gonna text others lol
Same I can’t pass notes 💀
how would they even expect of us to be educated? teachers are supposed to ask us questions or we are supposed to ask them questions related to the educated subject/topic, how would we possibly speak up with the mask on that's bugging us?
Starfor21x it’s not like the mask silences you. You can still talk through it and be heard well.
I don't know if anyone has said anything, but if you offset your desks into a checkerboard pattern you may be able to scoot the rows closer together and still maintain your distance. Think of each chair as the center of a circle.
I’m going into my first year of jr high and that’s already a big change but the virus is just going to make harder and more difficult with the extra steps
Thank you for showing us this. I think it was really informational. It’s also nice to know that other teachers are struggling with how to make this work
For future reference: if you're 5'10, the length from the tip of one middle finger to the other when your arms are stretched out like that will be 5'10".... In MOST cases, your arm span is your height. 😁
Please stay safe you and your family. I really want my daughter to be in the Classroom. Since I am still working. Thank you. Have a blessed weekend
why the hell did this show up on my recommendations i’m not even in elementary
Lol
This isn’t highschool...
This is elementry... I-
SunshineJxssie i’m not even in elementary
@@hii1317 That's not what I said..I said the school in the video is an elementry school..Please go back to school gurl..you've been quartantine for while.
Wow, seeing your classroom set up just makes things become that much more real!! I can't imagine having the kids stay at their desk separated all year.😭😭 I think of little things such as the kids walking around to help pass our papers or the kiddos passing out candy during classroom parties that might become a thing of the pass!🥺🥺 Despite everything you are still managing to keep your head up 😉.
They shouldnt be forcing so many kids into one space especially when they aren’t separated by the standard 6 feet to ensure their safety. Their health shouldn’t be put at risk like this.
I thank all the teachers you guys rock😍😍
I have no idea what I would do with all these regulations. Cheers to you figuring it out.
Ha! We are still waiting on a lot more info, but it was relieving to at least get this part semi-figured out. It’s going to be a crazy year, that’s for sure!
I love her energy she seems so nice
