First day of school for the 17th year

This is my 17th First Day of School as a teacher and it is one of the weirdest yet.  We are teaching at a time where all the students on our campus are unvaccinated and where it is impossible to keep the distance between students 3 to 6 feet apart.  We are in a pandemic teaching and we have to do our best to keep the students safe, engaged, and happy.  This is no small feat.  My partner teacher and I wear aprons to keep our belongings near us... like band-aids, hand sanitizer, phones, and pens.  There is so much to keep track of that it can be really stressful.  The students I am teaching did not go to kindergarten or first grade for the majority of the year, so this is their first experience in school which is a big transition.  What will it be like this year???
