A class of 26 sounds small, like it would allow room for social distancing in a science lab. However, it does not. 2-3 students per lab table. They wash down with wipes between classes, they use a lot of hand sanitzer- but the distancing, it is difficult. Students are wearing masks- this is great. But, keeping them 5-6ft apart is impossible. Classes are only going to get bigger after the holidays as more students choose to return to the building.
Today I observed- reminded and nudged them to stop touching each other- stop leaning in to whisper in ears- but with masks on it is difficult to hear, even the closest of people. Such strange times, scary times and students are behaving exactly as you'd expect- like children. All we can do is stay vigilant and remain on guard.
