Just Thinking Creatively
by Anabel Díaz=Anading
Knowing that this times of isolation are hard for everyone and rescheduling our lives has been an issue from day one. We went from having each one their own time socializing with friends, teachers, etc to having our lives shaked down. Back in time to understand...children were doing their part planning ahead schoolwork, exams and a trip. Friday. they were told to bring home locker contents.
Thank God my kids take with them what they need for the day and their locker is at home. They were told about corona virus and to wait with their parents for the local news that weekend. On Monday, they were homeschooling. We have to admit that the school taught them well. Planning, technology, platforms, knowledge, guidance, motivation, exams too... yeah. we already got a school report with their grades... they are doing pretty good.
But yesterday, was hilarious just hearing them. They were in physical education class and their teacher was inmerse in the class, giving them guidelines, showing images of how to do the exercises, listing things that can help them around the house, how to take care of themselves, safe exercises, to drink water, making pauses and checking on everyone...this was hilarious... when he said “Everyone is doing it right, except her... my little friend back there... (he paused)... and shout her name... PAY ATTENTION you are doing it all wrong... then told another kid not to knock himself with the wall behind"... (my kid was so focused into the class, that he heard nothing).
I was laughing because everyone has to behave properly, you can not change your teachers essence. Teachers really care for our kids. Well, while I was writing this draft, I received a call from a close friend that was filled with love. Have you get a call from the heart lately?... um maybe it’s time start a chain.
P.S. Keep training he said, when the time comes, we will see who follows instructions and who doesn’t. And he set them goals from the distance. He said bye, good job all and left some minutes for them to say bye. That was emotional, you could feel the love and hear how much they missed each other.
Take care!
