Back to School Education for Kids

[Valerie Please]

I'm a teacher and Jesus! It's rough out there. Thanks for thinking of us. The poem is nice, the pre-k to grade 3 crowd will like it.

Ooooo, have you thought about writing a little hand washing rhyme? You know, one of those that the kids are supposed to repeat so that they wash their hands long enough. Teachers might also love that. There are songs but I've heard that some schools have banned singing because of the capacity for spreading virus. Which makes me want to crawl under my desk and cry. 

(Teachers would also love wine and plastic partitions as well.)

OK, a few editing things below.

2020 have been a challenging time for the world and now the kids are heading back to school. What do you think about this little poem I wrote for teachers to share with their young students (pre-k to grade 3)?

We are back to school again.
Learning, playing and seeing our friends. (I know there are differing comma rules on this point but here it's: "Learning, playing, and seeing out friends)
While some of us are back together in a room,
a few of us use teams, zoom and Google Classroom. (Consistent capitalization, please : Teams, Zoom, and Google Classroom)
This pesky virus is still on our minds,
so we wash real good until our hands shine. (Since it's school, please use "real well")
Wear a mask is what the experts say.
Keep your distance, each and everyday.
Be kind to others, it's time to stand tall,
for tomorrow will be brighter and better for all. (drop the first "for" you you don't need it)
