Joshua has been busy seven days a week with schoolwork for the children at his school -- running Zoom meetings all week (over 25 hours of video conferencing in groups and for individual students), grading schoolwork that is dropped off on Friday for his entire Saturday, and assigning work all day Sunday. I'm doubtful that parents realize how much goes into providing a Montessori education at the elementary level and Joshua is too modest to tell them.
Since it is Spring Break week for the kids, Joshua and I have both been trying to get our work done early in the week so that we have time to hang out as a family. While he was at the school today, we had a Zoom call with their cousins, the kids and I went for a short 2 mile trip on the trail (I ran and they scootered), played a bunch of board games (UNO and OutFoxed are still favorites), and continued to sew their quilts. It is so neat to see how quickly they learned how to use the sewing machine. Alma also learned how to knit and is working on a pot holder for our house.
