[quote=Anonymous]First day - lots of happy faces and chatter and getting to know each other activities. Seemed to go very well. The teacher went through the schedule, the materials that were sent home (books, guides, all kinds of supplies) and the links and online programs that will be used.

I started to get excited about this school year last week when my child received a "gift box" from her teacher with books, games, art supplies and more. I am really impressed with what was given on top of the laptop and offer of internet support (we didn't need this as our internet is sufficient).  Plus my kid acted like she was getting a second birthday when the box arrived.

There will be live instruction every day with morning and afternoon sessions Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday and morning only on Wednesday.

The bad and ugly are that many families don't have great internet at home and there are kids who desperately need to be in person more than others. Out of 20 kids or so online, at least 3-4 had bad reception, lots of static and couldn't hear or couldn't be heard. There was one kid who just hated being online but stayed on and participated with his parent at his side.

Overall, I want school to reopen in person but, so far, the school's response is better than expected. [/quote]
