Although hand sanitizers are installed throughout the
building, teachers also encourage the children to go to the
restrooms and wash their hands after each lesson.
The first day back in the classroom was unusual and
emotional for both students and teachers. Wearing a mask,
which is mandatory for teachers, makes their jobs physically
harder due to the strained breathing. Masks also cover their
emotional expressions, requiring students to focus harder to
equally understand the information teachers are conveying.
The first lesson for all students was dedicated to sharing
more information about COVID-19 and related safety
regulations. Children were also introduced to their daily
schedules.
First graders were overwhelmed by their first day back at
school, however, those feelings would have been present
with or without COVID-19. The first graders’ parents believe
that their children’s feelings towards school depend greatly
on developing an uninterrupted routine of in-school
attendance. Some parents think that distance learning could
ruin the children’s overall understanding of the school, and
moreover, that this could be damaging to their mental
health.
Both parents and children are happy to be back at school,
and do not wish to return to distance learning. They say that
they are ready to follow all the regulations set by the
authorities
