The New Normal

      You know what? After a little while, I got used to different ways of doing things. I guess we all did.  For me, school days start off just like before. I check off my list. Morning List – wash face, brush teeth, get dressed, brush hair, eat breakfast, log on. The log in part is new.​​​​

     Remote school is sort of  like school, we start at 8:30 and we do work in all the subjects. Instead of passing papers in, we take screenshots and submit them on-line. I’m getting better at keyboarding but I type so slow!  I can see my friends on the screen but I can’t really talk to them. It makes me feel sort of lonely even though they’re right there.

​

     Sometimes, I think about how school was before, like my classroom, seeing my friends in person every day, even my messy desk, I think the teachers are trying hard to make remote school just like real school.  I even have art, music, technology and PE!  All of them! Right here in my room!  It’s just not the same. 

Did I tell you I miss real school?

​

     Remote school, staying home, social distancing, zoom calls, wearing masks, so many things are different now. I really like getting mail and seeing what people are doing and how they’re feeling.  Some people are really sad. Others are keeping busy with things they didn’t have time for, before we all had to go home.  Like everybody in the whole world practically was put in time-out, but we didn’t do anything wrong.

​

        And people kept sending me cards. I don’t know if this postcard makes me feel happy or sad.
