Here at Chalkface we like to recognise those exceptional teachers that go the extra mile to help their students. This article from CNN has caught our attention.
Teachers across the United States are preparing to welcome students back to the classroom. But as coronavirus cases rise, many worry that young children's excitement will quickly turn into fear.
That's why two first grade teachers in DeLand, Florida, decided to transform their students' desks into little Jeeps.
Patricia Dovi, 35, and Kim Martin, 51, of St. Barnabas Episcopal School spent a week redesigning the desks, which feature construction paper tires, headlights and license plates. The desks have three-sided plastic dividers that serve as windshields and side windows as well as sneeze guards.
The desks, which are spaced far apart, are the only place where students are permitted to remove their face masks.
Martin said their goal was to create a space for students to feel comfortable while following health and safety guidelines.
Well done Patricia and Kim your efforts to go the ‘extra mile’ for you students are an example for us all.
