This is our new normal.
Our reality.
The kids both sit at a computer each day, watching lessons, live teachings, lectures and both have been busy with homework and assignments.
It's tough. Especially on my momma heart. This is NOT how these kids want to be learning. They want to be at school. With their teachers and surrounded by friends.
I was thinking, families with little ones, definitely have it harder right now, during this Coronavirus. It would be So. Much. Harder. doing this with young children and elementary aged kids. When you need to watch them constantly from morning to night. With no break but for bed time.
I don't spend any time during the day, going over lessons or teaching my kids. They, thankfully, receive prompts from their teachers and they both get to work. I think they've both welcomed this little bit of 'normal' in the midst of nothing being normal.
What's hardest for this age group, is not being surrounded by their peers.
And now, that grad has officially been cancelled [which we pretty much knew was going to happen, but we still held out hope] they don't even have anything to look forward to.
Makes my heart ache...
I'm glad to be able to document this crazy period of our lives.
One day, we'll look back at this period and say 'Remember when...'
For now, we continue to take it one slow day at a time.
