Still in School

We are still in school, three weeks later, which is GREAT news of course. And, as expected by parents of school aged children everywhere, there is a (re) learning curve when it comes to 'how to be' at school.

Ruby is really enjoying school, her teachers, and the friends that are in-person with her. But she is having to be reminded how to line up, how to find and use the proper restroom, how to maintain energy/stamina all day. And also, she is having to learn how to wear a mask all ding-dang day. We worked on mask wearing for at least a month before school returned, and Ruby had built up to 2+ hours (no breaks) before we sent her to school. But, as it is for students of all ages everywhere, wearing a mask in school from 7AM-2PM is hard, especially when you don't really understand why. 

Despite all of that, Ruby's teachers have been amazing with working with her to do all of the things they know she can do. She has about 1/2 of her class in-person with her (the rest are still working from home), and she is still rocking the carpool line in the morning.

For now I think that's all I can ask for!
