Going to school looks quite a bit different during the COVID-19 pandemic. Students and teachers have to wear masks and keep social distance(社交距离) in the whole day. But teachers like Mary Schulz of the West Fork School District in Rockwell, Iowa, still miss the daily greetings that help grow their relationship with their kids. One of the things that Mary missed most was her daily greeting each third grade students with a hug, high-five, or handshake. “When we came back, we hadn’t seen each other in so long and the students just wanted to reach out, you could see it,” she said. “It was just kind of awkward. Maybe you will think the ways of greetings are funny.”
She thought of a clever way to have each of her students come up with a special greeting to start their day off right! Some of them do a dance move, some simply wave, and others have a difficult foot-tap combination. Mary learned all 20 of their special hellos, and now her kids are glad to line up for their daily welcome from Mrs. Mary!
Mary said she has felt more connected with her students since having the daily greetings, and the kids just like it! “We’re just trying to have school life with some fun things,” she added. “It has brought me joy too.”
