Quaratine Week 11

We are pretty exhausted after a week back to work/school.  Getting up early was rough and we aren't used to all the socializing (ha)!  Overall it went well.  Colbie is LOVING it; she instantly made a friend (another staff kid) and she is so happy to be around another girl her age.  She was in the Spanish class, she loved learning Spanish and all the art/projects they did.  Ash was in my class (he isn't the best listener) but did well.  He'd rather stay home but seems happy playing with other kids once he's there.  It was so great to see some of my kids from class (I currently have just 6 kids in my class, including Ashton) and be back in the classroom and around coworkers.

Now for the negatives.... Wearing a mask for 5 straight hours is no joke!  I wear a plexi-glass shield during circle so kids can see and hear me better...not sure which is worse.  The constant sanitizing and hand washing is pretty brutal also.  All kids and staff must get their temperature taken before entering the building.  No parents are allowed to enter, so staff get them from their cars and bring them inside.  It is definitely feels very different, but still feels good to leave the house and see other people again.  Doing school work once we get home around 1pm was definitely challenging.....  we are all pretty burnt out by then.  I'm hoping this coming week is better.  The kids stayed home with Jon on Friday which was great for me!!

We did enjoy a beach meet-up with the Youngers, an ice cream to-go treat, and making our own Pokémon cards this weekend.
