E-Learning

We are really blessed with how E-learning is going for both of the kiddos. First, overall, Gavin loves it. He is always asking about his "homework" and what we are going to do next. His teacher lays out what the plans are for the week in a super simple, easy to read, document, and we follow it. To be honest, some days take 30 minutes to complete and others take 2 hours. It truly depends on Gavin and how into it he is. 

Playing War. 

Lesson for the day was Family. He drew our family. He is the biggest and Mayson is the tiny spec of a person you can barely see. He thought that was hilarious. 

Bug themed number splat. Call a number and Splat it like a bug. 

Letter walk. Jump over the letter saying the letter and letter sounds. 

Make a grocery list. 

Trace the groceries. 

Google chat with his teacher and his friends. This was the first week for this. He lit up seeing his friends. He was so chatty and excited. It was absolutely adorable, but made me so sad for him missing this time with his friends. They will all move on to Kindergarten next year, but due to Gavin's age, we decided he could benefit for one more year of preK. I 100% do not regret this decision, but I'm so sad he didn't get the proper goodbye to these kids he talks about constantly. Luckily, we live in a small area, where he is bound to see them at sports! 

Mayson's class is a little different, again not too hard and we are blessed by how wonderful the Kindergarten program has put things together for us. Daily they have a google meet to read stories, share a fun thing, or do a fun thing (today they did a scavenger hunt, last week they played legos). They then focus on 2 subjects on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. The teachers post videos of the lesson and then we complete the activity after usually discussing it on FlipGrid for the class to see. We are also working to finish the Snoopy 220 sight words before the end of the year, not a requirement, but this is something we made the goal of at the beginning of the year and he is doing such a great job. 

Working on those sight words. 

Decorated selfie for his FlipGrid video.

Art project, create something out of recyclables. 

Snuggled up watching his video. He has been extra snuggly lately, no complaints here. 

I've seen so many others with concerns about their e-learning and honestly it is going pretty well here.  Again, blessed! "Happiness is seeing the smile on the child's face as they learn". Yes, absolutely, and while I am not the most qualified, I sure do love knowing I had a part in helping to create the smiles as they are learning. Even if we don't want to do it each day, we do and we all learn something. Don't forget, find something positive in your day to be thankful about!
