Week Two of Homeschooling

This week the kindergarteners became butterflies and the 2nd graders learned all about the layers of the body. Grant and Siobahn stepped in to offer some physician lectures and we had some special guest readers. 

Week One of Homeschooling

So much was learned this week by students AND teacher. I’m exhausted but happy and feeling fulfilled. I had moments of success and moments that showed me where I need to make adjustments. The kids were all so excited and happy to be back in a classroom. Daily rhythm helps all of us.

COVID times call for a new form of education. Our pandemic pod has decided to homeschool this year. It was a very involved decision making process with a lot of input from all the parents. 

After working on many versions of schedules and what works for everyone, I’ve decided to take on the teaching role. I’ll be using the Oak Meadow curriculum and teaching four kindergarteners and two 2nd graders. 

The other families will be offering nanny help throughout the day so I can have a break between teaching and also be able to focus on teaching one grade at a time. It’s a big undertaking, but definitely feels like the right thing to do for our family. 

We’ve transformed the guest bedroom into a classroom and outfitted it with desks and chairs and school supplies. The kids are all very excited to start school in this new environment.
