corona quarantine week 2

Week 2 of homeschooling and quarantine seemed more routine than last week so that's good!

When Emmy left school she was studying weather and the water cycle.  I found a themed fluency poem for her to practice this week!

The Governor announced on Monday that school would be closed for the remainder of the academic year.  It was a hard pill to swallow for teachers, kids and parents.  Chocolate helped me through the emotional event.

Bryce is having fun staying in touch and connecting with his friends via facetime and messenger kids.

His teacher scheduled a zoom meet up on Tuesday and it was the highlight of his week.

I'm trying to keep the kids reading and writing as well as doing math.  Emmy wrote her own Pete the Cat book this week and then sent a video of herself reading it to her teacher.

Bryce had won a free kids meal to Buffalo Wild Wings for a school contest so he cashed in on it this week.  He and Jason had a car picnic since they had to pick it up curbside.

Jason's family owns a bakery.  We're all doing what we can right now to support local businesses so of course we hit up the bakery for donuts for breakfast this week.

Emmy was excited to have a zoom meet up with her teacher and class on Friday.

I'll continue to say it, but the memes are getting me through.  I loved this one!

I loved this one so much, I acted on it.  Look at my new teacher appreciation gift I got this week, ha!

This morning we watched church live from our house.  It was fun!

The weather was beautiful today so we had to get out of the house and enjoy the day.

We hiked around Three Lakes Park and the boys fished a little.

We went to Bruster's for a cold snack afterwards.

It was almost ninety degrees today so we broke out the water slide for the first time this year.  

Another meme that made me laugh that I've also been acting on, ha!

Case in point!  Happy hour is my favorite time of day!

The weekends do really feel like weekends now that we're in a routine and boy do I look forward to them.  I'm used to having Fridays off with a little down time to myself to get things done or just relax.  That's not the case when I'm homeschooling two different grades five days a week so I'm really enjoying my weekends!
