As teachers and students adapt to new learning environments, it’s given them the chance to change the classrooms.
In this case, a Mariner Middle School teacher is toying with the possibility of moving the classroom outdoors.
The last year, teaching with masks has proven to be difficult for Stacey Sawyer. Sawyer is a 28-year teacher veteran.
“It’s really hard,” Sawyer said. “It’s probably the hardest I’ve ever worked in my life.”
With a mask on, teaching isn’t as effective.
Pop-up COVID testing locations and Curative trailer sites will be set up throughout Sussex County this week.
“Testing is the best way to track the spread of COVID-19 and monitor for outbreaks. But it’s not a replacement for basic public health measures during a pandemic,” said Gov. John Carney in a press release. “Wear a mask. Wash your hands. Avoid gathering with friends and family outside of your household. I know this holiday season is different and it’s hard. But stay vigilant and we’ll get through this.”
DEMA has coordinated community sites this week in addition to sites at Walgreens, and at various hospitals and healthcare locations. Delawareans can view a full list of COVID-19 testing options and locations at de.gov/gettested.
