ife, learning, and work. These may be some things that affected you because of the pandemic. The pandemic started in February 2020. Everything began to shut down and we thought the world was going to end. The pandemic changed our lives in a lot of ways.

We had to quarantine if we were sick, put people in the hospital and the emergency room, and even had people die because of it. Masks have to be worn to help us stay safe and fight back against the pandemic. They are really important to us as we can't get friends and people sick because some are not wearing masks and not getting the vaccine. Technology helped people talk to family and friends without seeing them in
person. It got popular because people want to talk to family, and kids are getting older as the days pass by. The pandemic also made people get unemployed and fired. And some people still work from home. Kids had to join school online. We all had to use Zoom to learn and had to look at the screen for hours after hours. Finally, we had an option to go to school, and some went to school, others went back to Zoom. www.KidsStandard.org
