COVID 19 - What should kids reflect on?

We plan to make frequent phonecalls to the children, sharing the responsibility for these amongst the team. What should we talk to the children about? What should we get them thinking about? Our school routine of "Question of the Day" was such a big hit ... is there a way to make this happen, virtually?

We've suggested that each preschooler have a journal. Wouldn't it have been great if we could have created these for the students before this time apart began?

We've begun a list of ideas for children to reflect, draw, and write about, during this pandemic:

  • What is something kind you have done? 
  • How are you helping your family?
  • What do you plan to do today?
  • Tell me a story.
  • What is the most fun activity you have done with your family?
  • Do you miss school? What are you missing about it?
  • Have you been outside? Have you noticed any signs of spring? What have you noticed?
  • Are there shapes in your home? What is a rectangle in your home?
  • What is different about home than school?
  • Do you have centers at home? How might you create these at home?
  • Do you have a calm-down place? Where is it? What does it look like?





 Creating community virtually - that's our challenge.
