Teen is getting a desk chair as she has been using a kids size wooden one, about $150. Also maybe a kindle or something so she can take notes for AP classes while watching the laptop screen, so another $100. Or a second monitor.
MS is probably getting a small desk to set up in a common area so can.m be watched, headphones. ES is getting a chromebook touch for a few hundred, headphones, a mouse, and maybe a monitor so she can watch examples while working on her nearpod assignment. So about $1000? |

New chrome book -250
High schooler who will review/tutor through assignments every week - 200/month Not sure about our pod set up yet, but I’m mixing with some high rollers, so maybe another $500 Considering a second screen so I can launch all my 3rd graders assignments in one location so I don’t have to keep helping out. |

Table, chairs to set up outside for safety.

Oh, this is a cute idea about the chicks. It makes me remember how much we loved it when we had an aquarium. We may need to pull that thing out and give fish another go. It was so relaxing when we had a big tank and a few fish swimming around! |

Not much. Kids already have a desk and chair each. There's one home computer for the younger to use, older kid is getting a laptop through the school. They also both have tablets that can be used in a pinch.
Not planning a pod or tutor. I suppose we'll stock up on notebooks and pencils, like we do every year. And some comfy sweatpants. I think my older kid might be due to get a graphing calculator this year. Haven't seen the final school supply list, but he'll be in algebra. So that would be our biggest purchase, but it's not directly tied to DL. |

Yes, please do! With so much human togetherness, a relaxed state of mind is crucial, and animals are the best at helping us do that. Other Homo Sapiens, not so much, it seems...

Walmart has a few for under $50 - make sure it is from Walmart. We just ordered one. |

| New job offer I turned down would have been over $100k more than I'm currently making, so about that much. Plus some pens and notepads. |

Therapy for all.
I certainly losing it and sick of the whining and clinging and outbursts. Esp from workaholic husband when he happens to grace our presence. |

Why do you need to pay for a whiteboard? There are plenty of free whiteboard apps. |
