COVID-19. CO for corona, VI for virus, D for disease and 19 for the year it was discovered. A phrase seldom heard months ago. And yet it seems that it comes out of our mouths more than any other word these days. Here is a link if you are looking for a kid-friendly explanation of the virus.
As you watch and listen to the news and the increasing rapid shutdown of our city, think about spending this time with your family and focus on the positives. Experts say that taking precautions now, as strict as they may be, will help prevent the virus from spreading and infecting others. This includes the immediate shutdown of schools.
You may be confused, scared, disappointed or even happy that schools have been closed indefinitely. In other words, we do not know when they will reopen again. It is okay and normal to feel all of these emotions. Talk to your parents about your feelings.
1. What was your initial or first reaction when you heard the news about schools closing? Why did you feel that way?
2. Describe what you are currently doing at home while we wait out this closure? It does not all have to be related to schoolwork. Be honest, are you sleeping in and playing video games all day? Tell me your schedule.
3. What do you think about COVID-19? How much do you know about it? What have you heard?
It feels strange to sit in this empty classroom. We should be having either Science or Social as I type this blog post. Feel free to keep in contact with me; I WILL respond.
Hope to see you soon. Take care and stay safe!

When I heard school was going to close I was not happy because I am one of those kids who like school most kids dont one I was not happy because I dont get to see my friends and two I do t get to do the rest of gymnastics.
ReplyDeleteWhile this is happening what I am doing is sleeping g in to 8:30 and then when I wake up I go straight to my tablet to p,at roblox or to watch something on Netflix or Disney+.
What I know about the COVID_19 is that the floo is the it worse than the COVID_19 and it barely infects kids we can handle it better than adults. People think that a lot of people a hording sufe which they are but people like my gramma think that there is going to be world war 3 going to happen (which is not.)

ReplyDeleteMy mom is working as normal because she works at a hospital. We get a weeks worth of food and we stay at home.
I think COVID-19 is the worst virus ever. I know that the virus spreads on series.

My first reaction once the coronavirus started was normal because I already knew that it was just a normal infection but only it was new for us that is why I think people are going crazy.
ReplyDeleteWhat I am doing at home is I am playing video games, doing the work they are asking me to do and maybe watch TV but only for like 5 hours and that is it but I really wonder what the other kids are doing to maybe try what they are doing.
I've heard that people are going so crazy all of the food at the stores are gone and toilet paper too. The only thing I know about it is that it is a very popular infection because every were they are talking about it even video games. I think that coronavirus is stupid because it is just a new infection but people are dying because they are not taking care of themselves so yeah that is what i know.
hope I see you guys soon stay safe and don't go out :)!!!
