Little Bear got the strangest news today! School would be canceled for the next two weeks because of a virus that was spreading across the world. Some of his classmates were happy and excited, but some of them were scared and didn't want to leave. Little Bear was just confused and didn't know how to feel.

School will be closed for two weeks. Make sure you have your stuff and say your goodbyes.

We will miss you!

The first couple of days being home was tough for Little Bear because he couldn't see his friends. It was weird to have online classes, but it gave him comfort to see his teacher and classmates. Some friends thought that we would all be back to school after the two weeks passed. But Little Bear wasn't so sure. He wasn't sure about any of it, really.

"These things are all great, but I still miss my friends," Little Bear told her. "Don't be sad, Little Bear," said Mama Bear hoping to cheer him up. "You can use Zoom outside of school, too. You can have online play dates with all of your friends." Little Bear started to feel hopeful. He realized that staying home might not be so bad after all.

set one up?

Will you help me

Mama Bear and Little Bear worked together to set up Zoom play dates. One day he played trivia with them, another day he organized a talent show with them. He even hosted a game night for all of them. It felt so good to laugh with his friends and Mama Bear's heart was so happy to hear him laughing.
