Other than grocery store trips and walks around the neighborhood, we have been staying at home since March 16th. There has been a slight increase in fighting between the kids from seeing too much of each other, but otherwise it has been tolerable.
School has been cancelled for the rest of the school year and "online learning" so far has consisted of one hour, once a week for each of the kids. I hate to be critical and I know that this is a challenge for the teachers, but I expect more support from school. I can't imagine how difficult this must be for families where both parents are working or single-parent homes. Home schooling two different grades simultaneously has been a full time job, and although I'm trying, I know that I'm not doing a great job. I asked Max's teacher for more information about the math curriculum remaining for the school year, so that I can make sure that he learns/understands the concepts that are expected to be mastered. The answer I got was basically, "no, we can't share it"...
This week was "spring break" and the kids and I were supposed to go to Costanoa in Pescadero for two nights while dad was away at a golf tournament. Of course, that all was cancelled. So, Penny and I improvised and planned a "Hawaii at home" day and decorated the kitchen and planned to cook Hawaiian foods for breakfast and dinner. Penny even created an experience for dad and Max, where they were in a plane, arriving in Hawaii. Picture from that and others are below.
