Lessons that once took veteran teacher Sheila Baab minutes to prepare, now take hours.
Baab, a bubbly mom of two, makes regular home visits to her Paxinosa Elementary School fifth-graders’ homes to deliver school supplies.
She tries to anticipate every barrier to learning her students might face and solve them.
No thermometers at home for a daily screening? She got one donated for every student. Are they hungry? Do they need a mask? Baab bought more than 250 masks for kids and sends students home with food on in-person learning days.
