The decision was made to do distance learning for the first few weeks of this school year. We were not really mentally ready for the school to start, but over the last weekend before school start, we did try to do som
e preparation. We had the boys cleaned up their rooms and their desks. We bought them both a laptop stand. Also during that week, they each had their school pick up
time; they brought home textbooks and some school supplies. The schools were doing last minute preparati
on as well; the new online platform was finally go live the day before the school start. We started receiving many emails from the principals, Connor’s teacher and Logan’s multiple teachers.
Both boys were a bit nervous and not thrilled to start school. Logan was especially worried about being late, thus he set an alarm for the morning. On the first day Wed Aug 12, everyone got ready fine and fired up the laptops on time. The day actually went quite well and a lot better than what Stuart and I anticipated. Two of Logan’s six teachers had a little bit of hiccups getting the live classes started, but otherwise the boys got into all their classes and met the teachers. The boys did not complain too much, thus it was a successful day and now the boys are onto their 7th and 5th grade.
