Been close to having a frost the past two nights, covered the tomatoes. We have been getting tomatoes pretty much from the end of June, and the plants continue to grow. Hydroponics, its whats for dinner.
Back to school for week 2, the electric boogaloo.
Today was a bit smoother, we are getting the idea of how this is going. Also sent out Emails to students and their parents with their first week grades....some did no work, most did work today. That was something. We have students who wanted to be 100% virtual, just to get a few more weeks off from school. That does not seem to be working for them. Most of the totally virtual students are keeping up and doing work. Had one of our ESOL students change from virtual to in school five days, it will be best for her to do, she has been keeping up to the best of her ability, but will be better off in class.
Next week we are to go back to 'normal', whatever that may be. Because of that, I am holding off on a couple of astronomy activities until then, where we measure the diameter of the Sun. That way we can all go outside to do it. Doing labs and other activities will be much easier to do with the full group of students, we will have some virtual, but no where near as many.
More students are showing me their first attempts at photographing stars, some are nice. One student took a picture of Jupiter and Saturn this past weekend, not to bad. This week they are to take a picture of the big dipper. I am excited to see how that goes. We may need to hold off on the photography until after the full moon next week.
Feeling more optimistic as the week opens. Hope that feeling stays.
