In San Antonio, Texas, 15 preschoolers got an exciting surprise when their teacher showed up ready for class outside each of their homes.

A few weeks into quarantine, Myra Garza, a preschool teacher at Holy Spirit Catholic School was missing her class and wanted to find a way to connect with them that wasn’t through a computer. After being allowed by her school and parents, Garza packed up her car with activities and went to do in-person lessons in her students’ backyards.

“Most families were telling me all morning or all afternoon the kids were like, ‘When is she coming?’ ‘Is she coming?’ And they couldn’t help looking outside, waiting for me to get there. So they were excited just to have their teacher there,” Garza said.

Garza spent about 30 minutes outside each student’s house and while she was fully prepared to do a lesson that included phonics, alphabet, and math, most of the kids were just eager to show her around their homes and filled her with questions.

“We just visited with each other. You know some kids didn’t even want to do the lesson. They just wanted to talk and they just wanted to show me things. So I just took their lead," she said. “I think they were just fascinated with the fact that I was there.”

Garza said the parents also seemed excited to communicate with another adult and were grateful for what she did. The teacher is hoping to do another round of visits to her kids at the end of May as a way to finish off the school year.
