We have now completed 7 weeks of remote learning/teaching. Wow!! Only 2 more to go and then school will be over. I can't believe we are almost at the end. Here is what went on this week.
During church on Sunday Josie retold the Bible story of Noah. She has been doing this each week with her little book. She loves it! (Yes, church in pj's. )
This Bitty Baby has been getting a lot of attention lately.
Jillian starting her school work (with a creative hair-do).
She has been trying to finish all her work before noon...and she meets her goal every day.
Josie learned about opposites. This was hard for her at first, but she got it!
Jillian's teacher had an online scavenger hunt. Jillian was the winner!
She got a CFA gift card in the mail from her teacher for winning! So fun!
One night Tony surprised us all and made a Jamaican dish for dinner. Yum!!
It was teacher appreciation week and one of my students sent me flowers!! Soo sweet!
Jillian has really gotten into cooking and baking. Josie and Jill made sugar cookie sticks with chocolate and sprinkles. They did a great job and didn't need any help.
Jillian had 2 back to back zooms for dance this week.
Mrs. Martin drove to our house and delivered a gift for Jillian! Inside was pop rocks, a rock to decorate (and share on zoom) and more.
The middle school had a virtual awards ceremony.
Both girls made the A/B honor roll.
(They were so mad that they made 1 little B in math and it knocked them off the all A honor roll)
We were very proud of them. They worked very hard this year.
They were both nominated for the Soaring Eagle award.
Only these select students were nominated for the highest award.
BOTH girls got the "Outstanding Band Award."
And Kennedy got the Art award for 7th grade.
Tony got a teacher appreciation gift from the High school admin.
We have really settled into a routine here. Our weeks are very full of sitting at a computer, but the kids' work seems to be getting done faster. Josie just jumps around from person to person (whoever is not on a zoom or working) and spends time with that person. She is also great about playing by herself. This week I'm going to try to get more pictures of my "hermit children"....Kennedy and Kaitlyn. I noticed I don't have one picture of them this week. Ha!
Not pictured activities:
*Trixie playing with the squirrels every morning in the backyard. Too funny!
*Online piano and lots of piano practice
*Making Mother's Day cards
*Kennedy baked a strawberry pie and chocolate chip cookies from scratch! (She is not a fan of box mixes)
*Lots of lesson planning, grading and video making
*outside time
*We are down one fish. Muffin died. Jillian now has 4 happy little fish instead of 5.
Up next: Mother's Day fun!
