Day four of review has been successful in terms of students becoming accustomed to working from home online. I have seen a good amount of subpar work being turned in this week, and I expect that to change. This first trial week has been about simply getting used to the new reality and we have been fairly forgiving regarding work habits. Next week is new material and all work will receive a grade.
Please find a way to check that your child has been doing their assignments. If you're not at home or are working from home, I'm sure that is pretty difficult. Keep on them as much as you possibly can. Next week I will let you know personally if they are not doing what they are supposed to do. Sticking to a schedule (unless they are sick) is of the utmost importance to make this homeschooling work, so avoid things like luxurious breakfasts or sleeping in.
My father turns 96 today and has lived through the Blitz of London, World War II, polio, heart attacks, and all kinds of trouble and strife. He enjoys every day, even right now. I thought I'd pass that on as an encouragement. Stay strong!
