homeschooling

Now that the world has put itself on hold, people are getting pushed to their limits. One thing we need to think about is education. My daughter went to her google classrooms tonight to see what the teachers posted for her. She actually enjoyed it!

There was no messing around. Art, Music, and PE each have their own classes with work to do. She gets to create her own animated gif for art, watch YouTube clips with questions for music, and workout for PE. She actually did mountain climbers and burpees in the living room! And she is 9! That is usually the part of a workout that I skip ;)

I enjoy the fact that she is able to be self-sufficient. She knows that when she finishes her work, we read for 20 minutes and "school" is done for the day. She played math games, practiced piano, and did puzzles... all on a computer!

We have a STEM seminar scheduled and a live fossil lab to watch through the Burpee Museum. 

I got us a new 500 piece puzzle and loaded YouTube with 30 minute workouts for us. We got toilet paper, medicine, and baking supplies. What else could some quarantined girls ask for? I am looking forward to sewing and slime and burpees or whatever else she needs to do to stay educated and entertained.

The world may be in a bad place, but we have smiles, positive attitudes, and lots of stuff to do to stay home. Stay safe, folks. Stay happy. Negativity breeds faster than germs. Keep your chins up and if all else fails, try burpees :)
