 Day 140: In panic mode, looking at the upcoming remote learning schedules and listening to the first information session. I am not an organized, schedule driven person. like at all! I am looking at schedules like.

This is one time that I wish instead of my spontaneous, creative, artsy side, I had a more organized and schedule driven side. Hubby said, "you just need to stay on task and not be interrupt driven".... he is still alive... for now. Anyone else on the first day of learning about remote learning in panic mode?

Side note, how are you all going to handle remote learning live instruction for your kiddos when they are at the same time? Do you put them in separate rooms? Do you do headphones on them? The problem I am seeing is that my 1st grader will not talk at all on the live instruction. We could barely get him to speak up for speech last spring. So I am going to need to sit with him the entire time. Meanwhile, my rising 4th grader, bless his beautiful heart, wants mama to be with him holding his hand and helping him. Yes, I need to tell him, he is a big boy and 4th grader so he technically should be able to do most of it himself, but I probably need to be close to make sure he stays on task! Suggestions and helpful hints would be totally appreciated!!!!

No pajamas during live instruction for the boys... what about the mom's?
