Surviving the Virus – Week 1

Hey Yall … we’re rolling into week 2 of February and week 2 of the at home quarantine …

Week 1! I survived week one of being quarantined at home

I am safe, healthy, and well rested! Every province and city is different with the rules and expectations that have been set during the quarantine. I have heard that some apartment complexes or ‘compound’ are only allowing one family member out every two days to get necessities to keep a hold on how many people are out and about in the city. Some compounds are not allowing people to have visitors. It is different for everyone. I haven’t had any issues at all.

There are stores and restaurants open, but they take your temperature before you enter to make sure you don’t have any signs of fever and you have to wear a mask before you enter. I haven’t been to eat yet at a restaurant, but once your temperature has been taken, and you’ve cleaned your hands with hand-sanitizer, you’re welcome to take off your mask and enjoy your meal with your friends.

There are doctors/therapists available for anyone who needs to cope and speak with someone as they deal with this epidemic.

KMG: I myself, I am okay. I am so thankful for every message from family members and friends checking on me. It meas so much to me. I have been reading, cleaning, cooking (trying new recipes), taking naps, working out and e-teaching. I am taking advantage of this time given to me.

E-Teaching: How does this work for kindergarten students? It is different for every school, but at my school kindergarten teachers are uploading videos and worksheets to an online drive that parents have access to for the students to complete at home. Instructions are given in English and translated in Chinese and they are encouraged to do their very best with their parents help. All work will be reviewed once we return to the classroom in a few weeks.

Netflix: If you haven’t heard of it you should check out “She Did That” on Netflix!!!

Books: I am currently reading: SULA and Fail Up … next up after these two …..

^what are yall reading??? Give me some ideas! Help my 2020 list^`

Here’s to safety and adventure! I am still thankful for this life and the experiences that living in Shanghai and being an international teacher have given me.

Being away from home isn’t the easiest thing in the world, but this is where this chapter in my life has me. #IChooseAdventure
