Return to School Covid Safe

 

Return to School Covid Safe

Covid 19 is a pandemic that has affected every single one of us. The approaches to this disease have changed as time has passed. Our schools, our classrooms, and our students have been affected by how we have dealt with this disease. There have been significant disruptions to school due to the Coronavirus. We went from schools being closed to teaching virtually, going back to in-person teaching, quarantining because of our students being exposed, more cancelations, more virtual teaching, wearing masks, not requiring masks, and so on. Such confusing times!

New Norm

Because the Pandemic is now a part of our everyday life, teachers and students alike need to take precautions in order to not spread this virus.

Students need to learn how to Be Safe and Stay Safe while they are at school.

I have created a PowerPoint Slide Show-video to help your students understand the new “norm” that has come about because of the Covid 19 virus, as well as giving a basic explanation of its history.

This is a teaching resource that can be used with primary students.

It is divided into four sections.

• A description of the illness.

Different ways Covid makes us sick.

• Ways to keep from getting the Covid germs.

  

  What we can do to avoid Covid germs.

• 
  
• Ways to greet school friends and stay Covid Safe.

• 

  Greeting school friends safely.

  
  
  
• Basic history of Covid.

• 

  Covid history.

  
  

There are questions at the end that can be used with your student to review the information that is presented, and it is the opportunity to discuss the why and how of all the changes that have come about due to the Pandemic.

The Pandemic is now a part of our reality, and this PowerPoint presentation is an opportunity to review and discuss it.

I have put the slide show and the video into a zip file. You have the choices to use the slide show, narrate and guide your students through each frame yourself, or you can use the narrated video and show it to your students. You will need to use a speaker.

This teaching resource has been updated to reflect 2022 CDC recommendations. If you would like to see their recommendations, go to CDC Covid 19.

I hope you and your students stay Covid Safe!
