Today is the first day of school for these boys. We enjoyed every minutes of our summer break and it doesn't quite feel like school is back in session. Due to the high cases of Covid in Arizona, all schools are online through October (as of now). Owen had already decided on doing his online public school program that he completed for 6th grade because it worked really well for him. He likes to sleep in, moves slowly in the morning and then logs into his courses around 11am. He usually completes his online course responsibilities first and then logs off to work on everything else.
Logan planned to start a half day Kindergarten program, but online zoom sessions would be a nightmare with him. He has a lot of energy and has to be actively engaged in his learning. We decided to go with the same online program for Kindergarten, that Owen is currently enrolled in. It is a lot of hands on learning with phonics books, white boards, math manipulatives and lots of fun flashcards. They sent me about 10 boxes full of engaging curriculum and he is so excited to get started! I guess you could say I am homeschooling since he only spends about 45 min online in the morning to start his day with his teacher and classmates before logging off to learn.
We are excited to adapt to all the new changes around us. This school year looks different than we anticipated and it's okay. It is going to be a busy school year for all of us! I did not forget about Kam and fully expect to post all about her next week for her final year at ASU. I'll give you an update on how she is doing.
I still have a couple weeks until Nursing School starts back up in full force and still have zero idea what it will look like.
HAPPY FIRST DAY of school to these sweet boys and I am so excited to play the teacher role!

SEVENTH GRADE - I cannot believe it!
