Eli Starts School Next Week...

It's going to be very different though because of the virus. The year is starting off as a hybrid of in person and online. He'll go just on Thursday next week and they'll be given devices for the at home days. The next week he'll go Monday and Wednesday. I guess every week or 2 they will reacess and see if they can go full time, o go back to just online. Parents had a choice at registration whether or not to go ahead and enroll the kids in just online....but we did not choose to do so. Just thought I'd update for anyone interested. I know many places are doing it all online, at least for now...I hope that goes well too. Photo is mine.

I hope this time of pandemic would go away. The kids need to learn and play outside, not just indoor, to develop their skills and mental health.

@MommyOfEli2013 you're welcome, and it's going to be so hard on kids as they don't understand.

I hope so too, but with this messed up schedule it is hard to say. This was his first day in Kindergarten photo, and I think he was happy then...he doesn't want to go this year though.

@just4him He's not going to be too thrilled with the new news now, they changed the plans and now he'll be going 5 days a week. I am not happy at all with that.

@CarolDM Maybe so! I just worry that the kids in the younger grades will be confused.

Hope it all works out well. I think some in-person time is good for the kids' socializing skills. They miss out on so much being home all the time. Have a great weekend. Love the pictures.

I hope so too, they could go back full time if the cases here settle down. But yes....at least going half the time will be good for them. Hope you have a good weekend too. Glad you like the photos, I will take a new one of course when he goes Thursday lol

Well here my state is going up around 500 per day so until that slows down think it will be a half and half thing.

@MommyOfEli2013 ugh that's so bad! Courtney do you have any idea why your stats is going up with new virus cases? Is it because people refuse to stay confined?

@jvicentevalera I am not sure why because up until about the summer we were only going up around 50 cases a day, then July through now it's been going up around 500+ a day. Even after the lockdown was lifted, the cases didn't start spiking....but I am sure that is part of it.
