Teacher's Lounge // the first 5 weeks back in-person & what (not) to do when your student throws up

Join us every other episode for a “Teacher’s Lounge” segment where Drea & Luna relax, chat, and reflect on what’s been happening in their lives as teachers in Detroit.Recorded in early October, Drea and Luna debrief their first 5 weeks back in-person after a whole year+ virtual. Listen as we spill the hot tea on how we handle after-lunch/recess upchucks, build relationships with students and staff, and teach phonics with our masks on all day. How do we do it?! Someone give us teachers a raise, sabbatical, and free tea for a year!Here are a few noteworthy updates since those first 5 weeks…11/16: Michigan leads the nation in new Covid-19 cases per population (The Detroit News)Pfizer vaccines are now available for children 5-12 years old (aka our students, yay!)Luna’s sense of safety with her building has plummeted to evident danger with its inconsistent cleaning and short staff, experienced throughout the district. She’s had 1 covid case in her classroom and 3 outbreaks in the building. Hosted by Alexandrea Somers & Luna Terauchi.
