August 28 - Back to School

In true 2020 fashion, this has been the weirdest (craziest?) first week of school ever. Julia and Luke started virtual 7th and 4th grade this past Monday. They were logged in and successful for about 40min when the entire platform our school district uses crashed. It was down from approx. 8.40am until 2pm. Luke spent most of the day eating snacks while Julia kept trying to log back in. They were finally up and running later that day. 

On Tuesday, they were able to log in successfully...and then school was cancelled at noon due to Hurricane Laura. School was cancelled the rest of this week. So..not much schooling this week. Hopefully next week goes smoothly! In positive news, Luke loves his teachers! They are not the teachers Julia had in 4th grade but these ones are also excellent. Julia has great teachers but a not so great schedule (2 electives followed by a 1.5h study hall, and her normal schedule should be 8-3pm but she's 8-4pm). 

Next post..Hurricane Laura!
