In a mask on World, the students are finding it difficult to hear and understand instructions. It's becoming quite exhausting trying to breathe through the mask, give the instruction the first time only to have to repeat it. My students can't see my facial reactions, so they can't see whether or not I'm happy or sad.
We can't sing unless we are outside and we all know our kids loved to sing.
I'm done reminding the students over and over throughout the day " Nose to Chin" so now I say " If your mask has slipped down passed your nose then pop it back up" and this seems to be working better.
There are so many complications in our mask on World, but our safety is important and for the time being, we must continue to do what we know and have been told.
In a mask off World, I want to see our kids entertain us again with their singing and performing, our kids shine in this area. I can't wait for this to happen. If we are happy and safe then we are learning. In small groups. We are able to be closer to each other.
