They are the heroes we need right now and that means they need support so that they can keep supporting us and our kids . Because they’re doing an amazing job.

Maybe I’ll Shower Today Jennifer Birch Pierson, a Kindergarten teacher from Texas, understands how different this school year is for her little kinders. Social distancing measures mean her kids will need to sit away from friends, something they may not be used to. She came up with an idea to make sitting at a desk more fun and turned the desks in her classroom into trucks, creating an exciting environment for her children to learn in. Pierson, whose classroom looks like an adorable road filled with unique and colorful cars and trucks, even turned the required desk shields into windshields for her desk-mobiles. With one idea and one photo, Pierson proved that classrooms in the time of the coronavirus pandemic don’t have to be scary. Our youth deserve the opportunity to grow and thrive while learning in a safe space.For good reason, the photo of Pierson’s classroom quickly went viral after it was posted to the Maybe I’ll Shower Today Facebook page. The caption that accompanied Pierson’s pic perfectly summed up the feelings of many parents around the globe. “Those students who enter her classroom may have a tough time, but clearly they are in the hands of a caring teacher, and that’s something all parents can be grateful for,” the post read. “Thank you to the teachers, who, like Ms. Pierson, are doing all they can and more to make our kids feel safe and happy.”Pierson said it was her goal to make “lemonade from some very sour lemons,” and it seems she’s doing just that. While it may be hard to imagine a classroom full of Kindergarten-aged kids being able to practice social distancing for hours on end, Pierson’s way of creating a fun space for her students to keep their distance will certainly help make things easier.
