The BC kids are back "in school" today so Dave and I are started our distance education program with the grandsons in Rossland from our home in Kaslo. He's doing a unit on bird watching and what to look for in the natural world (and they LOVE the natural world) and I did a lesson on time (digital only at this point) for their Math class. It's been a while since we've done any formal teaching and it was great fun. I didn't have to deal with discipline problems, although both of them were "late" for class today. Technology or parents??? Hmmm. We plan to continue with a "program" for as long as needed and I can only hope that they concentrate as well when things begin to get "boring". Novelty is all! I'm getting my "plans" from the JUMP Math series out of ON. We already have one student who has math anxiety - my goal is to get him over that.
The NJ girls are getting a regular program at home via their own emails at the school. They have work to do every school day. And they have two teachers, who are also working remotely, to supervise them at home. I know they are in good hands. I'm excited to be able to share poetry with Callie on a daily basis now.
