With kids trapped at home, most of them are facing a hard time as they miss school. A 5 year old child felt the same as her school closed due to the global pandemic. For children that young, school is more of a play and attachment in terms of friends and extremely friendly teachers. My child who is in her K2 currently, wrote down her feelings in the form of a letter as she was feeling sad about the fact that the school will remain close till the 1st of June.
So, one day when we were sitting idle in the evening, my daughter who is 5 years old asked me when her school will reopen. By that time, I had to a definite answer, as Singapore by then, had not circulated any probable date for school reopening.
I suggested writing a letter to the class teacher asking when the school will reopen and how she feel about school closure.
As an innocent child, she was enthusiastic to write a letter to the class teacher. So my 5 year old started writing her letter. You can read it below.
In case, you are struggling to read her handwriting, I will explain what is written in her letter.
