Students Returning to School

 

Students Returning to School
The most important thing to do is to communicate with parents and get their support. Parents need to let you know if their kids are not feeling well. You also need their backup with students following through with safe practices.

I have created a PandemicReturn to School Letter that you can get for free.

There is a great Bill Nye YouTube video that you can share with your parents and students that explains the urgency for wearing masks.

First 2 Weeks at School

We usually get the first week of school to go over school routines and expectations. But this year you are also needing students to embrace the “New Norm”, such as social distancing, hand washing and sanitizing, etc. Give them opportunities to take mask breaks. Create an area around them with dividers so they can work mask free. 

Routines and Procedures

Be very clear with instructions on routines and procedures. Create trails students can follow so they don’t come close to each other, one-way streets. Students can learn polite gestures such as pausing when they see a person coming nearby.

I have created, Covid-19 Return to School PowerPoint that shows practices for staying safe. You can go at your pace or use it as a slide show. You or your students can narrate the slide show. There are also questions for discussion at the end of the PP.

To reinforce and remind students of the things they need to be doing at school to stay safe, use these posters, Covid-19 Return to School Posters.

I have combined these 2 products at a discounted price and added a bonus file with the video version of the PowerPoint, Covid Bundle.

Compliment and thank both the parents and the students for being safe! Ask students why they are doing these things. “For me to stay safe. For you to stay safe!”

The three teaching resources that I have referred to will be discounted for the next 3 days, Mondy-Wednesday, August 24, 25, 26. Use the code, RTS20 and you will get it at 20% off. If you get the Bundle, it is already at a reduced price, plus the discount.

You are so much in my thoughts! I wish you many joys and blessings as you begin this 2020-2021 school year.
