This Coronavirus quarantine is really something else. Never in a million years would we have imagined living the way we're living right now. So many people are going through so many hardships with all of the shutdowns, but the slower pace has been so good for our kids. Full days at school can sometimes be hard on their little 5- and 7-year-old minds and bodies. We started working on math, reading, writing, and science for a couple hours a day last week, and the balance of a little learning and a lot of playing has been just what they needed. They absolutely miss their teachers and their friends and all the fun activities at school, but this little break has been a bit of a blessing in disguise.
Today was the first day of assignments from their teachers. They had a lot of fun working on some of the programs that their teachers suggested, so we're excited to see what else is in store for the rest of the year.
***I feel like I should add a disclaimer that we have definitely had to deal with the occasional bad attitude; it hasn't all been sunshine and roses, but overall, schooling from home has been a lot of fun for all of us.
And this is my sweet teaching assistant:
