around here/homeschooling
this week was our third week of homeschooling and today is the fifteenth day and the last for a week due to spring break
homeschooling has been a pleasant experience for us so far
Lily wakes naturally, has breakfast, makes her bed, gets ready and then sits herself down at the dining room table where she opens up her chrome book and begins her school day
her teacher has been wonderful and very present during the whole process
there are plenty of emails from her, assignments on IXL and live video conferences with all the kids
she has truly stepped it up and is a true boss!
while homeschooling during the day, we break things up with snacks, walks, scooter rides, trampoline time and crafts
being at home doing things is not unnatural for Lily and i
it’s what we have always done
ever since she was born and we lived in the apartment in southbeach
there have been times in the past where Lily was curious and asked to be homeschooled and now she is having an opportunity to do so (silver lining)
and i must say that she is pretty good at it
she is disciplined, focused, gets all her work done…
not any different from how she is when at school really
the hardest part is not having the freedom to see or get together with her friends
but facetiming with her besties makes that a little easier too
when school work will be done today, we will officially begin our spring break
in a healthier and freer world, we would be on a plane to st. pete where we would hang out with auntie K for the weekend and then monday rent a car and drive to miami where we would stay at an airbnb in the same building where we have stayed the past two years until next friday
that was the plan anyway
obviously we had to cancel everything and are staying home
i’m trying to be grateful for all the things we have but in all honesty i am having a hard time being here
may better freer times come back sooner than later
happy friday friends
