Seasoned public elementary school teacher, Everett Brooks, tells how he pivoted from the regular 2nd grade classroom environment, to having his students and their parents set up to start schooling their children at home due to the abrupt Shelter in Place Orders.

He is reassured that the students will at least have their nutritional needs met through the school-meal bus route that is making its rounds.

Everett’s class had the morning routine of playing music outside before the flag salute, so he and a few of his teacher colleagues, are scheming up a plan to go rolling through their students’ neighborhood as a “teacher auto parade” to try and keep the fun of school alive.
