In Uncertain Times
Romans 15:13
This Week
This week we will be posting assignments the night before, teachers will mark assignments that must be completed. There are additional assignments if you want to work on them.
We are trying to be mindful of your time and still provide the education your child needs to move forward.
Fourth Quarter will be a pass fail quarter. If you complete your assignments you pass if you choose not to do your assignments you fail. This applies for Kindergarten through Fifth grade.
If you have questions, concerns please reach out to your child's teacher through Remind.
Not Home Schooling -Crisis Schooling
You are NOT homeschooling. You are CRISIS schooling. There is a huge difference. Being home all day is NOT our normal! Our kids are not locked in their houses all day long.
Children are grieving right now. Out of the blue, they lost a lot. It is wonderful that so many classes are going online, but it's not the same. They lost their in person time with friends, their daily routine and the predictability of life that gives us security.
HONOR that grief process! Don't expect to just jump into a perfect program and learn, learn, learn. Expect them to act out. Expect them to not want to get out of bed. Expect them to not have words to express their inner turmoil.
YOU are grieving and experiencing loss. Give yourself a lot of GRACE! Some of you have lost jobs or your spouses have lost jobs. Those who are working are afraid of going out. Some of you have been to 5 grocery stores and still do not have what you need. Our society has been turned upside down. Give yourself a break.
Life will go on if you are not stellar during a worldwide crisis. Maybe your best today will be cuddle up with the kids and just be together. Maybe your best today is everyone is fed and you didn't cry in front of them. Maybe you did cry and your beautiful babies showed their remarkable best by comforting you in their beautiful little strength.
It's okay and even necessary to be REAL with yourself about what's actually happening. A bomb did not go off, but metaphorically it did. Our lives will never be the same after this. If you crumble, honor that. I promise you, your child will learn. We learn from all of life!
Blessings and love to all of the parents who are taking on this huge challenge! Give yourself grace! You got this!! I believe in you! I have seen parents work miracles in schooling their children. Teachers... my heart goes out to you. You are also on a steep learning curve to serve your students in this time. It's also okay for you to not be amazing.
