Dobby is so cute. Those gnomes are just as adorable too.
Our schools have been out for a week and now saying next day back will be April 5th. Not thinking it will happen even then. Online classes are happening here.
Love your dobby and your gnomes. Keep us posted about how your virtual school is running. As a retired teacher I am curious how that will work.
Supposedly we go back April 20th, which is after our spring break....I'm not sure that will happen. We'll see how things go. For now, we're just all trying not to lose our damn minds here :)
Dobby is adorable - as are your gnomes. I'm sure officials hope they'll get the kids here back in the school bldgs before May, but I don't see how that's happening - especially with the policy to only test the obviously sick. Since children, evidently often don't even show signs of having the virus, if they go back to school with no on-going mechanism in place for knowing who may be sick or not, we'll have done this social distancing for nothing, IMO. I do realize at some point we'll go back to some kind of normal, and the virus will continue to spread (hopefully more slowly since a bunch of people will already have had it), but I don't see how enough people will have gotten it, gotten over it, and be immune in time for it to make sense to open the schools up again this school year (given that schools here tend to close before Memorial Day). All that said, no one's going to ask me before they make whatever decisions they're going to make. I just felt crotchety there for a minute and had to get that off my chest.
Love Dobby and the gnomes (that should be a name for a band).
We are not expecting to be back this year (July) tbh. As a school though we are opening for parents of key workers and the vulnerable but hopefully it won't be too many students and we won't need to go in often. Take care.
We just got the news that school doesn't start anymore this year. This means online teaching for the rest of school year 19/20. I'm glad we have spring break next week so I can get used to this new situation. I hope that my students are determined enough to study for themselves. I has never been more clear that school is a priviledge. Hopefully, many will make use of what I have prepared and are going to prepare for them even I am not right there to supervise them when they work.
I find it difficult to figure out how much work I can give them to keep them busy but not too busy. I'm not sure yet how I can actually teach them new things. Writing blog posts? Tutorials? vlogs, which I hate making?
Not in my wildest dreams ... It's just crazy.
All the best! Regula
I LOVE YOUR GNOMES!!! Stay well!
it is almost 40 out and the snow from today just melted! WHEEE
and Dobby is adores too
