Bonnie Laughlin-Schultz enforces social distancing, sanitizes surfaces and keeps a face shield for emergencies this semester as she convenes in-person classes at Eastern Illinois University.
The associate professor decided to work in the classroom to help her students after nearly a year of online learning, but she worries about bringing COVID-19 home and infecting others in Charleston. As an extra precaution, Laughlin-Schultz said she tried wearing two masks during the 75-minute sessions, but that muffled her voice during lectures.
âI am very conscious of safety and of my studentsâ safety,â said Laughlin-Schultz, 45. âI donât want anyone anywhere near me because I donât want to be infected or to infect any of them.â
1- Enjoy a winter bbq on the deck. So winter might not be the traditional time to throw a chop or steak on the outdoor grill, so why not be bold when you do and try a homemade barbecue sauce, maybe something using locally sourced honey? 2- Write a letter letting your family know you love them. It may seem a bit old-fashioned but there is something deeply personal about a handwritten letter, and we could all use some practice with our writing skills in this largely text-based world. 3- Make homemade butter with your kids. 4- Go through your clothes and donate the ones you don’t wear anymore. We all have them, the ones that time has shrunk, or that are simply out-of-fashion (Do you really need to keep those corduroy bell-bottoms?) So pass them on.
