I’m sure we, as parents, are far too familiar with this question.
But, in these times, WE are the ones posing the question.
School is scheduled to continue through May 22, as we have been doing through AMI.
I was given some inside scoop from the teachers this morning, which takes huge amounts of pressure off. The kids grades for 4th quarter will be based on participation only. We just need to continue doing the best we can, but efforts and participation are what count for this last portion of the school year. YAY! That helps so much. When you have some children that don’t respond well, or have complete meltdowns, and refuse to work for you, take heed in knowing this.
School has been going pretty well for us, as April has kindly continued being their teacher, guidance counselor and reading buddy. They are all doing really well, and tolerate school just fine. We get through it in about 2 1/2 hours.. Some days might take a little longer, but it depends on today’s math problem or literacy lesson.
We just heard that this quarantine life might go through the beginning of the fall school year, but I sure hope not. I need to get back to work. ha
Working from home is just fine though. You adapt, and get the schedule / routine fine-tuned, and then it seems to run well. We have our daily schedule:
6am – I wake up, get ready.
6:45 – pick up coffee at Reverie
7am – start working
7:45 – wake kids / get breakfast
8:30 – school day begins til 11ish (I work during this time)
12:30ish – lunch
1:30-2:30 – kids play / video games / tv
2:30-3:15 – outside (P.E. time)
3:15 til 5ish – I work / they play
Seems like a great schedule, and works for us..
After 5, we have zoom meetings for karate, virtual workouts and Pathfinders once a week.
This weekend, (tomorrow actually), we have our first i-camporee. should be fun!
We will camp in our tent and do activities through the google classroom on our computer. family challenges, worship and fun.
Happy Quarantine Life.. one day at a time..
All in a Day
