A Texas preschool instructor has been creative with her students for the past two weeks, taking her classroom on the road.

Distance learning has been the rule since the coronavirus pandemic but San Antonio teacher Myra Garza has been conducting classes in students' driveways and yards, KSAT reported. Garza, who is a pre-K teacher at San Antonio's Holy Spirit Catholic School, said she just wanted to see her students in real life while observing social distancing.

“I was just missing them and I was trying to think of a way to be able to just connect with them and make them feel still connected to our classroom and me,” Garza told the television station.

Garza visited each of her 15 students and interacted with them while keeping a safe distance.

"We did our phonics, we read books, we danced and we had a good time," Garza told KSAT.

Garza said she would like to revisit her students toward the end of May in order to celebrate the end of the school year.

"It's a different time we're living in right now," Garza told KSAT. "We're just kind of having to roll with the punches and have a good time with it."
