Book Creator | Postcards from the Window Ledge - Notes from the days of Covid-19

Hello,

I'm writing to you from the the time of the Covid 19 pandemic. It's kind of messed up. We have to stay at home and for you that must sound amazing. And for a time, it was, but after some time you start to miss your friends and teachers and yes, even school. Another thing is you kind of have to teach yourself. So there's no teachers to answer questions and so on - so it's kind of annoying. But you do have Google meets and chats once in a while. I hope it is better when you're reading this! Goodbye!

Sincerely,
Harrison

Hello future friends,

I'm a Grade 6 student from the past (the year 2020) and I will be informing you on what it was like in the old days, when Covid-19 took over.
There were lots of things that it will be remembered for. I will be telling you about Zoom and Google Meet calls.
Zoom and Google Meet are the names of websites where one can go on a video call with multiple people. Every week, our teachers would send us links for specific days and times. For example, Wednesday at 1:00 pm. At the specified time, everyone would click the link and join the call.
It was a fun way to see your teachers and class mates! We even played some games once! If you missed a call, it wasn't all that bad, you would just make sure to be on the next one.
I even did virtual guitar lessons! I started learning guitar during isolation and did Zoom calls with an instructor. Learning some songs and chords was a fun way to pass the time!
Thank you for reading my postcard!

Hey people from the future!

You probably have heard of the coronavirus, because, well it’s pretty big during the time I’m writing this. I’m going to describe what it was like living during social distancing. What that means is you’re not allowed to be near people. Or at least, you have to be 2 meters apart. Basically, going outside means not coming in contact with a person, and if you do, someone you know or love could get sick or maybe even die. Whenever you come back inside, you have to wash your hands vigorously. If you live with the elderly or the immunocompromised, then you have to be even more careful. What I’m getting at,is that you should be grateful that you can go outside, hang out with friends and even go to the park, knowing that you won’t get fined $750.

Anyways, stay safe, Jaisal

Future Friend!

Animals on the loose!

Hey people from the future the covid 19 pandemic has made humans go inside! animals are no longer fearing humans and going outside the forest and taking a stroll on the road! It's pretty cool! The animals are peaceful and not hurting anyone. This is happening all over the world and during social distancing its pretty fun to watch.

Anyway goodbye from the past,

To the future,
Have you heard of the corona virus pandemic of 2020? Many people got very sick with a virus that attacked your lungs. What you may not have heard is that there was a huge mask shortage. Many people panicked and stockpiled masks leaving our doctors and nurses with almost none. Hopefully ,in the future you won't have another pandemic. But if you do, remember to learn from the past and plan ahead for future pandemics by keeping some masks set aside and not letting them expire.

Dear Friend from the Future,

Toilet paper is a HOT commodity. Grocery store shelves are empty of this coveted luxury bathroom staple item. People are buying massive quantities all at once and stocking up. This time will be remembered not just for the virus, but for the toilet paper shortage we caused by over-purchasing and panicking, probably unnecessarily.

I hope you never get caught in this scenario -

Sincerely,
Stuck at Home

Dear Future Friend,

Social Distancing has been a really difficult time for family members, visitors, and many people around the world. Especially Grand Parents! It is very hard to not see my Grand Parents anymore because we are so close to each other! Every Saturday we would visit. It is Heart Breaking. It is a very scary time, for many people who have gotten Covid-19 and have been very sick. We are very fortunate to have stayed healthy! We have taken this time to spend time together and activities such as: Jump Rope, Playing Basketball, Playing Football, Doing Handstands with my mom, Having Family Walks, Nature Walks, Gardening such as taking out weeds, Cooking together, Doing Crafts, Playing games, Drawing\ Colouring, Movie Nights, Helping With Dinner, Reading A Lot, Playing Outside and Working out Together. That is how much I have done! Can't wait to read this in the future! BYE!!!!

Sincerely,

Your Future Friend

Dear Future Friend,

ANIMALS ARE ROAMING THE STREETS!!

Because people are stuck at home, animals have more space to roam. They have been invading cities around the world. I have included a video to show you what animals are getting up to.
I think some animals are concerned about us because they have even started checking in to see if we are still here!!

You alive??

Hello Hooman??

Check out this video!!

On a different note, my dog is super happy to have me home all day! I hope that when I go back to school he isn't sad. I hope you never get into this situation.

Sincerely,
Stuck at home

Dear friends from the future,

We have something called Zoom. It's an on line chat that allows you to stay connected with others. It has options like you can mute yourself block your camera and you can pin someone. You can also add up to 100 people on one chat. During Covid-19 people have been using zoom for so many different reasons. It is used for work, school, meets, and so much more. Teachers use it to teach or stay connected with their students. People that can't go into work use it for meetings and other people use it just to see one another like friends, cousins and grandparents.

So happy we have this during this time.

Sincerely,
Stuck at home (;Rylan)

Hello to the future universe! it’s me, Andrew, from Earth in 2020 when ur reading this it’s probably 2050 or something like that! I’m here to tell you about COVID-19. You have probably never heard of it that’s because it happened in 2020 the worst year ever! there are over 3,000,000 million cases of people having it. That’s a lot of people. Just be ready for when another COVID-19 hits ok?
