If you spend time around children, how are they thinking and talking about the coronavirus pandemic? Can you give some examples of things they’ve said and done?

<strong>As an elementary teacher,</strong> I work with kids who have already adapted to Covid-19 times by talking about the pros and cons of virtual learning. The <strong>sad part</strong> is when they say <strong>"teacher, when will I get to see you in person? I miss playing outside, seeing my friends, can I give you a hug?"</strong> <strong>The hardest part is not being able to be by their side to help them more.</strong> I can see some students who struggle with school, struggle with interaction and learning online. Many of them during our digital recess will play videogames or with their toys but I can tell it's not the same as being able to play around with one another.
