'Spring Break' is over, and now it's time for 'Mom-School' to start! I must admit, I was a little nervous going into this. But, I decided this is just going be a unique and memorable time in all our lives! I hope to keep the kids learning, exploring, growing, but I do not want to stress over their academic progress while we are social distancing! I want to have fun and do different things - the things we never seem to have time for anymore- while I get this special opportunity to hang with them!
I have been so shocked and impressed with the number of online (and mom) resources available. So this first week, I put together a little list of what I would like to get done each day. Monday I started with a mission of getting it knocked out all at once so we would have the rest of the day. Then I realized, that was a little stressful, and there is no reason! So the rest of the week, we worked a little, played a little, and still got through our stuff.
The kids said they really enjoyed 'Mom -school' and had fun week! were just awesome this week. They miss
