"Covid-19" is an illness and it is contagious. The school decided to not send students back to keep you all safe.
Mom, why can't I go back to school? What is "Covid-19"?
I will try to answer any questions you might have, Gracie. Let's move to the living room to talk more.
Okay! That's a great idea, mom!
This is Gracie. She just got home from school and has learned that she will not be going back for the remainder of the school year due to something called "Covid-19". Gracie is not sure what "Covid-19" is and is worried about what this could mean for her and her family.
Here is an idea. Let's write down fun activities to do during this time at home!
Gracie goes to her mom and asks why can't she go back to school and what is "Covid-19"? Her mother explains to her "Covid-19" is an illness that it is very contagious and there is no medicine for it. Her mother explains that Gracie cannot go back to school because the school does not want the student's to potentially get sick.
Can we try to Facetime Claire and Hope each week?
Sure! That's a great idea!
Gracie is sad. Gracie's mom explains things can be done to help Gracie stay happy during these uncertain times.
Let's find fun projects to keep you busy!
Gracie's mom gives the idea of writing down ideas on things to do that can help Gracie stay happy during her time at home.
We can go on daily walks around the neighborhood!
Gracie gives the idea of maybe video calling her friends once a week so she can continue to keep in touch with them.
We will be okay. We just have to try and remain positive.
Gracie's mom gives the idea of doing fun projects during the week. She could do art crafts and science projects.
Thanks, Mom, for helping me. I am not as worried since I talked it out with you
Gracie gives the idea of going on daily walks in her neighborhood so she can get fresh air everyday. Their dog, Buster, loves this idea too!
Did someone say WALK?!
Great idea, Gracie. I think Buster thinks so too!
Gracie's mother reassures her that everything will be okay and we just have to remain positive even though it is a scary time.
Gracie is beginning to feel better about the situation since talking to her mom. She is now not as scared as she was before and she knows she can go to her mom with any worry she might have. She is happy that her mom will be home with her during these times at home.
I wonder when we are going on that walk?
You're welcome, Gracie. Always remember you can come to me if you have questions or need to talk.
It's okay to be worried and confused as first.
Don't be afraid to talk to your parent(s)/guardian.
We need to remain positive and give support to others who also need it.
Gracie wants you to know that it is okay to be confused and/or worried at first.
Gracie wants you to know, though, to not be afraid to ask questions and always talk to a parent(s)/guardian if you are feeling upset or scared. Your parent(s)/guardian is there to help you.
Gracie hopes you remain positive and continue to be supportive of others. She hopes these ideas are helpful to you during these uncertain times.
