Remote learning is over for now, thank goodness. We have been doing remote learning since March 20. We are experts at google classroom, zoom meetings, and google meets. It's been rough, but we did it! This post is long and detailed about what each kid had to do everyday for school. It was intense. The kids did wonderfully. Their teachers are amazing! They worked around the clock to learn all the new technology, meeting with students individually. I received personal phone calls from them asking what they could do to help and also talking to my kids. I am so grateful for the teachers they had this year. All three kids participated in remote learning. Each grade/teacher did something different. What they all had to do was answer and attendance question by noon, read for thirty minutes a day, and I-ready (an assessment program that helped determine where they were in math and reading). Third Grade: Cosette's assignments were what she was doing in school. She completed two huge
Today was a big day for me in the my motherhood book. First, Cosette lost her first tooth! It was really funny how it happened. I was nursing Raphael, and she came into the room looking upset and said "Mommy my tooth fell out". She had no idea that you lose your baby teeth and then your adult teeth come in, so it was a little bit of a shock to her. Her tooth actually had not fallen out, but was extremely loose. I got ready to pull it out and was prepared for all sorts of screaming, but lucky for everyone in the room, her tooth came on out without me pulling hard on it. I think the experience was a little shocking for her, but she is excited that the tooth fairy is coming tonight. She is also a little self conscience about the gap her lost tooth has made in her smile. She has been giving me closed lipped smiles so I cannot see her teeth. It was a proud momma moment for me, just because she is getting older and all these firsts are happening. It's exciting for me t
We made it to Manila! We flew over the US and the Pacific Ocean to get here. Our total travel time was 55 hours. It was long but surprisingly not bad at all. Cosette was an angel and the Haneda Airport in Tokyo was like a hotel. If those two things had been any different attitude in writing would not be so positive. This odessy of a journey begun way before our first flight. Packing up our apartment for our subletters took a lot longer than we supposed it would. So instead of being refreshed and ready for the long trip over we were tried and I did not want to get out of bed. We got enough sleep to keep on going till our flight from NYC to San Fransicso where we tried to rest. That flight for me was the worst. Cosette did sleep but was up for a lot of it. The plane was cramped and Lyndon and I were seperated by the aile. Thankgoodness for kind and patient people who sat next to us. Playing at the San Fransico airport. Our flight to Japan was awesome. We had a
I miss Coco! She's so adorable! I feel so lucky that you came to Ireland for Christmas. I'm jealous that you get to travel and live in Paris :)
