[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are parents doing specifically with young elementary kids?  Our rising third grader can be somewhat independent, but we practically had to strap the rising first grader to his chair to get through his one Zoom of the day back then.  The thought of four or however many hours of Zoom MCPS settles on for both of them has me panicking, and I'm not a panicky person by nature.

DH and I both telework FT, but he's in an essential sector and can't do much childcare.  So it's almost all going to be on me, and I'm not sure how that's going to work for a full year or more.[/quote]

We have a rising first grader and PK kid who will likely have lots of zoom on and off throughout the day - trying to figure out the best way to make sure they don't distract each other (or get distracted by their toddler sister), but also be able to keep an eye/ear on them periodically.  Debating setting them up in one room with headsets/mics (we would need to purchase) or putting them in two different spaces and just checking in on them.  First grader got decent at this during spring DL, but still needs some help.  PK kid is likely to struggle with it all.  Anyone have anything they tried that worked some during spring?  We have a guest room that one of us has been working in, but we assume there is gonna be some trial and error here and are prepared to mix it up as needed.  We know we are privileged to have the option for us all to be working from home, and we are grateful for that at least.

stay strong everyone, this is hard.[/quote]
