Another Social Story: A Story About Face Masks and Why We Wear Them

This is a social story that a team of teachers wrote with the inspiration from BKP children through classroom interactions and through Zoom.  Wearing a face mask is now required whenever we are around other people.  Through the creation of this social story we hope to support children as they experience this new reality.  The children's thoughts, ideas, words, and drawings in our story illustrate their understanding of this important topic.
