or meetings so we can see each others' faces! Otherwise we are uploading simple assignments for elementary kids on Seesaw.
We can send video and voice comments on Seesaw.
We are keeping the academic load very light while they get accustomed to the new platforms. We were instructed not to introduce any new content in the first eight days.
I send optional activities like online jigsaw puzzles, field trips, science experiments they can do for fun on the weekends.
For myself, I have participated in a few sound healing sessions (my sister is great at leading these!) and
had the opportunity to engage in several free online sessions with a "Mind Space" practitioner that were really helpful.
I joined several FB groups which support distance learning.
I also am blessed to live on a large compound where we have gorgeous landscaping and can walk around and we have a rooftop where I go to watch sunsets.
We are a school community here so we also had balcony karaoke, online photo contests, online baking demos, and more!
And of course, taking time to connect with loved ones around the world.
