[quote=Anonymous]So we're barely doing DL with our PK3 kid. It's not for lack of trying. The first month was a total mess with a teacher shuffle and we hardly had any live sessions offered. Now we are in another class and it's like constant live sessions -- morning meeting, small group, art, read-along, 1:1s with the teacher.

We make it to maybe 3-4 live sessions a week. Usually a few of the morning meeting and then one or two read-alongs. Some days our kid just goes into full revolt regarding school. If we tried to force her to sit down in front of the iPad, she'd go full exorcist. Instead we just try to supplement at home with some literacy stuff and incorporate letters and numbers into our day.

Honestly, my main focus has been making sure she gets plenty of exercise. We'll do a little DL in the morning, and then when she's had it, one of us will take her out on her bike or to a playground for an hour. She's so much calmer when she can do this -- I think moving around and being outside just helps her regulate her feelings. Whenever we try to do DL, I see the stress and tension starting to build. I don't want her to associate school with that feeling.

How are others doing? What's working, what isn't? I have considered unenrolling but we are holding on in the hopes of some in-person at some point this school year. But I don't know if we can do it -- participating at this low level feels almost pointless (we just miss so much and I never really know what is going on), but I just don't think it's feasible to do more via DL. Anyone else feel similarly?[/quote]
