How to Teach our Kids about Coronavirus

Counseling lessons for the week of April 13-17:

Hello Oak Hill families! We hope you have survived your first week of online learning! Just remember to take lots of deep breaths and take things one day at a time. We will all get through this together! For this week's guidance lessons, we wanted to focus on teaching your children about coronavirus in a kid-friendly way. You may have already had discussions with them about this, but here are some more tools to help you have those sometimes-tough conversations.

PK-2:



Washing hands is so important during this time! Here's a fun little song to help your children learn how to wash their hands and for how long. Singing a song while washing hands is very helpful in making sure children are washing long enough.



Here are some coloring sheets to remind you to wash those hands and cover your coughs, after you watch the videos!

And PLEASE don't forget to wash those hands! Sing "Happy Birthday" twice while washing your hands to make sure they are really getting clean.


We hope you have a great week! :-)
