Because we are homeschooling through our school district, Scarlett reports to a campus-based teacher, Miss Ames. This week, Miss Ames hosted an online "Zoom Fort Party." The kids made forts a home, got into their jammies and hopped on a video call with the class. Such a cute idea! Here she is in her bedroom with all sorts of stuffed animals and other goodies. :)
During these COVID times, it's so nice to see a kid being a kid at a playground. Scarlett (8) had a blast swinging without a care in the world!
Scarlett (8.5) is ridiculously flexible! I'm not sure what's going on here - ha!!
We chose to homeschool both kids this year through the school district's homeschooling program. We'll use their provided curriculum and chat with a school-based teacher once a week. And then the teaching portion is up to us as the parents. Scarlett will be in a "learning pod" at a private home in Paso Robles with five other kids and a real teacher! We are super excited for this alternative school setting!
This week Scarlett did a skateboarding camp for girls! They were all middle schoolers, and Scarlett was nervous about that. But they were sweet to hear and the instructor was such a cool dude!
He offered more classes on weekend and the middle school girls were thrilled ... but Scarlett decided not to move forward. It's too bad, but ... she got a cool and unique experience this week!
