Let’s have a parade!

lovesrecess · ‎03-14-2010

Schools are closed here, probably until the end of the year. It has thrown a lot of kids out of their routine, especially impacting younger kids. Am so happy to hear that several districts here are having parades! My kinder grand is beyond excited. Teachers from elementary schools are driving through the neighborhoods where their students live with their cars decorated with balloons, etc...and their kid's names on big signs....the students line the streets since they don't live close to each other....and wave at their teachers. So important to keep the connection between children and teachers during this time. Lots of worksheets and activities are now provided online for parents to use. Such a great idea!

If you read the specifics she provided, they're still doing social distancing. It's not like a Macys parade.

Now that there's no school or homework in my area, the little little darlings are already out breaking into cluster mailboxes.

🤣 🤣 🤣..... I guess everyone needs a "hobby".....

Seriously thats a major non-pandemic problem ...it happened to our mailboxes and mail delivery halted so I had to go to the Post Office to pick up my mail and lots of others in different subdivisions had experienced the SAME problem....something needs to be done!!!

I am shocked anyone would criticize what the teachers are doing for their students during this time. Obviously social distancing was observed at all times. I see zero problem with children standing in their front yards and teachers driving down the streets of their neighborhood. My grand was thrilled when her teacher saw her and yelled her name and that she missed her...even the cafeteria ladies were in the parade!

Too many older kids on the streets now for sure....instead of being in school...but if they are stealing mail....they probably wouldn’t be going to school much anyway. Where are their parents? Working from home?
