Are the PE teachers going into the classroom? Are the students eating in
their classrooms? Do they have recess outside on playground equipment?
I am pushing into the classrooms. I have a small grocery basket, the double
decker kind. I decorated it and have my keyboard, boombox, sanitizer, maps,
posters, instruments that I use only. I have many body percussion
activities. It took me a week to know how to teach. The first day of school
I had 13, 000 steps. 🤕😵 I have on gloves, two masks and a shield. So glad
to hear your story and we learn from each other. I am in Texas.
