Day 10: School work for the kids? But Mum… it’s school holidays!

Last week of school term was crazy… trying to juggle working from home and online learning so it is only natural that I not worry about my own children’s school work, right? Today I finally had a good look at what was set and realized the battle (kids at home don’t want to do school work) that lay ahead.

Our “hallway” school work board

I decided to setup a space for each subject and write sticky notes for each of my children under each task. This took a bit of time, but I think in the long term it will be of great benefit. Thinking I will suggest this to my student as well…

Now… how to motivate them to do the work! Next challenge.

Our exercise today was a boogie board at the beach. Things will be different tomorrow when the rain sets in. Enjoying the sunshine while it’s here.

How to socialize whilst staying at home: today was our first social Zoom with friends. Red wine, cheese and a couch. Not the same as being in the same room… but still nice to connect.

  1. Love that you are so organised! Have always liked “visual” To Do lists & stuff. Great inherent satisfaction in crossing off/removing the achieved things!
    And go the wine & 🧀! 😁
