So, we are getting used to these weird times.
Danny is still working hard, but his days aren't quite so long because there are no events in the evenings. It is unusual, but nice that he can be home fore dinner every night.
The big kids have seminary on zoom every weekday. That helps us all to get up and moving. Their teachers are posting assignments. They aren't graded, so I am not micromanaging, as long as they are doing something productive for a few hours a day.
The younger kids are getting really good at checking google classroom and doing what they need to do. Katherine also is learning cursive, playing prodigy, using flip grid, zoom, google classroom etc.
Their teachers, Mrs. Franklin and Mrs. Leighty, are working hard and are staying connected and providing a lot of options for work. We love them and are so thankful for all that they are doing and providing us!
Katherine is even going to be starting back with speech services this week! Mrs. Cappellini is amazing!

I love the many fun activities you guys are doing. Great ways to keep busy! Are none of their school assignments being graded or just the seminary? Our kids get everything to be graded, even the seminary. What crazy times!
