School had packets to be picked up on Monday and now we're homeschoolers, but without the benefits of field trips and play dates. I had each of the girls pick something extra to focus on while they're home, so Gretchen is learning to sew and write in cursive and Olivia is learning to sew and make video games. We're writing letters every morning for the handwriting practice and the address practice. They can access some of their computer class programs through the school website as well as a weekly music module. We have a lot of books and kindles don't need in person interaction, so our library is well stocked. We're also watching videos by Mo Willems (of Elephant and Piggie fame) for art class. Donna sent me a link to some science activities that the kids tried on Friday and loved. Dance classes are virtual which means everyone takes ballet now if they want to. Matthias will be such a great dancer at the end of this. :) I think the most annoying part so far is gathering stuff from all the different sources and keeping it together. I don't want to have to check six different places every day for updates.
Theodore can sit up, albeit in a little nest of pillows for safety reasons. He can also roll any way he chooses, though he still doesn't choose to as often as some of his older siblings did. He mimics sounds back at people in the same range that they are made to him, which is probably normal but is something I didn't notice with the other kids. My Music Together might be showing.
