, like sorting blocks into different colours and shapes. It’s fun and engaging work. Every day is a new experience.. One time we were talking about penguins and how they lay eggs. The children took large wooden spheres, waddled around and pretended they were penguin parents. During story time, kids will drop by to participate if it interests them, but they can still come and go as they please.
“The children arrive one at a time, and my supervisor takes their temperature, then disinfects their bags with a Lysol wipe and escorts them to their classrooms. This way, teachers don’t have any physical contact with the parents. Once they arrive to the classroom, the children change into their indoor shoes, and we unpack their diapers, wipes and water bottles. We now leave every other cubby empty so that there is more space between the children and their belongings..

They were speaking very seriously to each other, so I went over to ask what they were doing.

They said, ‘Oh, we have Covid and you have to wash your hands and wash off all the germs.
