It is hard
for me to believe that the holidays are just around the corner. This
year has brought many challenges to me, my family and friends, and my
country. I am back in kindergarten proctoring a virtual class for my
grandson. I had no idea how much it has changed since my son went 37
years ago! It is filled with technology, apps for general learning and
learning games, but I am happy to say that we still use pencils and
crayons. I do not envy the teacher who watches 30 kids on a monitor
twice a day and tries to connect with each of them. On the bright side I
am so thankful for this time with Elijah as he is growing so fast and I
love watching him work through the daily lessons. My son pulled the
short straw and he is proctoring Elena in 4th grade while working from
home.Read More
