5 Steps to Surviving Distance Learning
Surviving Distance Learning! Many children who do well naturally in school do NOT thrive under the current Distance Learning conditions! Moreover, not only are they isolated from their friends, but they are expected to pay attention for hours via internet. Add to this a child with learning disabilities, or who struggles with academics, and it can be a perfect storm for disaster! There is not a lot of stimulation from a flat screen concerning school work! How can you help keep them engaged, and save your sanity? Basically, if what you are currently doing isn’t working, or is not working well, consider changing tactics. In other words, a new approach…

My Covid-19 Class of 2020 Kid
What’s Covid-19 Distance Learning?!? This Whole World Wide Covid-19 Virus Pandemic has been difficult for all of us. To say that life has been very strange, would an understatement. Did I think that it would still be going on? No, not at all. I assumed we would be back to normal before the end of June. Now we are well into July and life is still strange. What has been the most difficult for me? Getting my son Lane through the end of his Senior year of High School. He is my youngest child of 5, and I joke that this was my last time to complete high school, so…

I love his black hair and blue eyes. He also has tan skin from always being outside. I love that he is a fast runner and that he wants me to keep running in track. My mom made him a carrot cake. Yuck!…

Journal-February 24, 1980
February 24, 1980 Dear Journal, If I had a Fairy Godmother, I would ask her for three wishes. I would wish that all the world was clean of trash, filth, bad thoughts and actions. I would wish for enough money to be happy, not spoiled. I would wish for Ben D. to love me and ask me to be his girlfriend.

Oh ya, and be prettier, and…

Journal- February 16, 1980
February 16, 1980 Dear Journal, I have been super busy so I did not write every day last week. My days can be very busy. Monday through Friday I go to school all day. I have a very long bus ride. I catch the bus around 6:30 am, and school starts around 8 something. Even though I do not like to ride the bus so long, I do like to talk with my friends and read books on the bus on the way to school. Mostly I talk with Tina K., Julie B., Carmen and Elena. Sometimes I talk to Reuben or the Davids, but they are tired when they…
