19 Teachers Who Are Trying to Make The Best Of Their Classrooms During The Pandemic
If you have kids who are off to school this year, things are going to be looking quite a bit different than they have in the past. If districts have opted for in-person learning over remote then teachers have been forced to make some significant changes to their classrooms.
However, all of the plexiboard that separates desks or the idea that books have to be off-limits can be scary to some students who may not fully comprehend the pandemic.
Luckily, teachers are angels on earth and many have created ways to make their socially-distanced classrooms feel a bit less scary. Here are a few of the innovative ideas that you can send to your teacher friends.

Nothing sadder to a teacher than an empty classroom but I’m determined to not be lonely this year! After virtually talking to some new students they picked their desk. One student said Daddy look I’m the sloth desk ️. FES Falcons are ready to SOAR! pic.twitter.com/MTHE5RMNcj
