Hello to my Good Health Heroes!
What’s up? How are you feeling? Tell me a story.
Coronavirus-19 will not stop our stories! We can write while we are at home. Some of you may have brought your journals home, and if you did then it is fine to write your stories in them. Some of you may have notebooks from home that you can use. And some of you may not be able to find a notebook at all, and that is it fine, too. Long ago, before anyone had even invented notebooks, do you know what people did?
They told their stories. People gathered around campfires, under the stars, at dinner tables, or under blanket forts on their living room floor, and they told their stories to each other. I like to tell my stories to Henry and Ella, or to my friend Rock Lobster. So each day that I post a picture, I want you to think about what I’ve posted and tell a story about it. You can write your story in a notebook, or you can tell your story to the grownups or other family members in the house, or you can find your own special friend like Rock Lobster and tell your stories to them.
Your stories are yours. Your pictures are yours. Your art is yours. And in all of those things you can talk about anything you would like to talk about. Coronavirus-19 has made us change the way we live our lives for now. It is ok to be scared about that and it is ok to be mad. But we don’t have to let Coronavirus-19 stop our stories or take away our fun! We can dance around our living rooms and be happy. It is is ok to play, and write stories and make art. We are going to live our lives at home, wash our hands a lot, and make this virus go away as fast as we can.
If you want to, you can email your stories to me. I will email you back. Or you can save the stories inside your mind to share with me later. We’ll see each other again soon.
Don’t forget. Every time you wash your hands with soap and water https://carltoncooks.com/good-cooks-use-soap-and-water-for-clean-hands/ while you count to 20, or as you sing a very long song, you are making Coronavirus-19 go away. YOU are helping the world. YOU are a Good Health Hero!
Stay Healthy, and remember, I think you are Paw-some!
Love,
Carlton
PS- Check back soon. I’ll have a mystery for you to solve, and a game for you to play.
