With government permission and Covid-19 protection in place, Urukundo Learning Center doors have re-opened for all of its students in January.
This was the first time for preschool and Primary 1 through 3 since the pandemic began. It was the first day ever in school for the 3-year-olds..Students in Primary 4, 5 and 6 returned in November.
First day back to school.
They came.
On foot
By bicycle
Even moto
And, of course, by Urukundo’s bus
Lining up for the wash station.
Washing hands. Math teacher Elias assisting.
This 3-year-old is ready.
For the little ones, cleaning their hands with a squirt bottle sanitizer seemed the best method. Teacher Rosemary does the honors.
One of our cleaners, Gerald, is the helper in this task. Little ones are too short to use the wash station.
A temperature check is necessary. Science teacher Eugene shares that responsibility.
It takes many helpers to reach our goal of every student and teacher checked. Head of Discipline Viateur helps to move students faster to class.
These new students are waiting for classroom assignments in Primary 1, 2, and 3.
Our preschool has three levels: 3-year-olds, 4-year-olds and 5-year-olds. Little faces tell the stories.
Face masks are a problem for some.
This 5-year-old is not at all happy to be back in school.
Rethinking. OK, he remembers. Maybe it’s not so bad.
Teacher Solange, with 4-year-olds, works magic with distractions. Tomorrow will be better.
Older preschoolers are glad to be back. Teacher Callixte with 5-year-olds.
