School Update

Want to hear the best news I've heard in a long time?! My kiddos are going back to school in-person, full-time beginning September 28 😀

The Hybrid model has worked okay. Not great (technical issues, confusion of assignments, arguing over subtraction, etc.) but I guess it could be worse. The first week was rough. This second week has gone much better!

Each morning Jaxen is home, he has to be ready to log into Zoom by 8:30am. On the white board, I write his schedule for the day or at least the assignments that need to be completed (along with chores for the day). Each day, he is a bit more independent with his work - although I am right in the room with him, to help as needed.

He has been kind and included Zane in some of his "brain break" and "recess" activities.

Zane stays occupied with playing in the living room, coloring, using his ipad, taking baths, oh - and watching the window to see when his girlfriends can play!

 

 

On days when Zane has to do school from home, he and Nik log into Zoom by 12:30pm. From there, Nik works with Zane on assignments. It's been pretty easy and low-key for Zane so far.

We are making this schedule work - but I am so thankful the school district made the decision early to send students back full-time. One more week of Hybrid and then Jaxen and Zane will return to school! I will still be working from home each morning (taking Jaxen to school / keeping Zane while Nik sleeps / taking Zane to school) for now. We will once again see what our new 'normal' will look like!
