LAKELAND, Fla. — It's no secret that as kids start their distance learning, they might start missing their classrooms, friends and even teachers.
To make the transition into online learning a little bit easier, teachers from Scott Lake Elementary School in Lakeland are holding a car parade, hoping to inspire their students.
On Monday morning, Scott Lake teachers and staff will meet at the school and begin a parade through their students neighborhoods.
Teachers will get the chance to share a smile and wave at their students, who they have not seen since before spring break.
According to the Scott Lake Elementary School website, teachers will be going through a distance learning training from March 30 through April 2.
New virtual learning will begin on Thursday, April 2 for Scott Lake students.
Right now, all Florida schools are closed until April 15, because of the coronavirus pandemic.
