So, it's Sunday again.
This week went well. I figured out that I can do math with all three big kids at once, and that they love it that way. I also found out that math should come before phonics, because it just works better this way. I also that the new arrangement gave me a free window, which I used for the maraudler* and Marty. Marty needs individual attention to focus, so we made "star tracks" with crayons and stickers. I could never get him to practice drawing straight lines on his own, but when I was right there, putting the stickers on the paper, he loved it and spent loving time with it. Maraudler eats any crayons that fall into her hands, so I simultaneously entertained her by putting stickers all over her. It was great for giggles and a good reminder of why we do what we do (hint: it's because we love our kids).
This was a good week to discover new fixes because it was my first week of teaching actual classes online instead of just introducing everyone and checking their audio tech. Don't get me wrong, I love teaching bigger kids, especially the bright ones in my classes (spoiler: I'm pretty sure they're all bright).
But.
It was exhausting, on top of the cooking, the cleaning, the everything else of life.
But we did it and that makes me proud.
Apparently it also makes me sick, because as of right now, I have completely lost my voice and tomorrow is Monday, when the whole thing starts over.
This is where push comes to shove. Where something's gotta give. I guess tomorrow we'll find out what.
Stay strong and make noise, my fellow soldiers!
