We've ditched curriculum for the remainder of the years as public schools did the same but seems "free play" isn't really something any of these kiddos do well long term.

I lost 3 kids but gained 2 so it's no a huge deal but nothing worse than trying to get 2 new kids to understand our routines when we really aren't following too many of them ourselves. I find myself saying "Well, normally we... ______" ALOT

But my state is starting a slow process to reopen... Our stay at home orders are set to end May 1st but I honestly think our Governor will move it forward a bit. He is allowing certain non-essential businesses to reopen IF they have a safety plan in place for their employees and for the public.

We'll see how that goes I guess... I want it to happen as people can't go on much longer like this. But I do fear it might still be too early for some parts of the state. Like others, all I can do is practice patience and pray.

Hoping everyone stays healthy!

I understand! Taking my calendar/weather grid from March into May. April got left by the wayside. I expected the majority of my children to be back this morning, but many paid on zelle yesterday and I only have 5. Similarly, things are opening up here slowly, but feel like this eery way of living will be with us all summer???
