4.3.20 (Friday):
I joined in on a Google Meet for our kindergarten class for the first time since we started online distance learning. It was so nice to see all those cute faces! I also made a video of me reading a book from ReadingIQ using Screencastify for our class. It is fun learning about all the educational online resources that are out there, but it can be somewhat overwhelming.
We joined our small group via Zoom again. This time we were able to watch part of a DVD series and answer some questions.
4.4.20 (Saturday):
Last night I had a disturbing dream that the kids and I had symptoms of Covid-19. It is sad that I immediately start to worry at the smallest cough or sneeze from anyone in our family. (We are currently all fine, health-wise).
I made a “snacky” lunch with carrots, cucumbers, hummus, tuna salad, cheese, crackers and grapes.
It is always nice when the kids are not arguing. Here k is being a helpful older sister by videotaping n doing his soccer skills. n is supposed to turn these videos into his coach each week.
At night we watched “Breaking 2” on Disney Plus. It is a National Geographic documentary about three men attempting to run a sub-two hour marathon. Highly recommend!
4.5.20 (Sunday):
We watched our church’s Palm Sunday service online.
For the record, we completed our third 1,000 piece puzzle.
Our eating out treat for the week was the “Share the Love” Deal from Hopdoddy: $5 hamburger, comes with a side of fries. Good alternative if you do not feel like waiting in the drive-thru line at In-n-Out next door. They offer curbside pick-up, like most restaurants are doing these days.
4.6.20 (Monday): It was a rainy day, but I still managed to take 10,000 steps inside the house.
I went to Trader Joe’s for the first time since the stay at home order went into effect. I had to wait outside in line for about twenty minutes (in the rain, but luckily there was an overhang). They had pretty much everything in stock, with no limits, except there was no toilet paper.
This is how our crazy kids practice the keyboard together.
For dinner, we had one of our go-to quick & easy meals. Ground turkey, spinach, onions and carrots with some Soyaki sauce (Trader Joe’s).
4.7.20 (Tuesday):
Second day of rain, and this time I did not even come close my 10,000 step goal. I tried a Zumba class online, but it was more strength training.
n’s teacher did an online lesson on 3-D drawing, and this is n’s final result. Can’t believe he will be registering for middle school pretty soon!
We had our first virtual meeting “fail”. n was supposed to be on his soccer team’s call at 6:00, but we forgot about it until 6:20. It ended at 6:30. Whoops. We have all of our calls listed on a master calendar in the kitchen, but maybe we need an audible reminder as well.
We watched Marvel Studios: Assembling a Universe. It was just ok.
