Abstract | As a consequence of both the political turmoil in late 2019 and the COVID-19 pandemic, kindergarten children in Hong Kong were unable to attend school for three years. Various class resumption plans were developed from time to time. Overall, kindergarten children had in-person classes for only 103 days in the 2019-20 year and 174 days in the 2020-21 school year. During the suspensions, schools, including kindergartens, implemented plans for the purpose of "suspending classes without suspending learning." Online learning and electronic interaction underpinned the efforts to sustain a consistent delivery of education and curriculum adherence throughout school closures. Eventually, all kindergartens resumed in phases from 3 to 16 May 2022. Attendance on school campuses was still restricted if a certain number of COVID cases were confirmed in a class or school. While teachers were busy preparing for online classes and for resumption of in-person classes, they did not have much time for reflection. In this article, two teachers lead the authors through their experiences during the pandemic, teaching in two Hong Kong kindergartens offering non-local curriculum, serving children from mid to high socioeconomic status families, with diverse ethnicities. Then, they jointly reflect on their experiences with their mentor. (ERIC). |
