He looks like a little rascal! You can tell he is a handful and ready to get into mischief by that pic. He also looks like he may be a smidgen spoiled already. 
LOL!

Hello everyoneā¦ Iām in a craft slump since February, canāt even blame it on the lockdown right now, but with still WFH and homeschooling and doing the basics around the house (and itās really basics ā¦ meals and washing dishes/clothes) Iām usually so mentally exhausted by 7pm that I just play on my tablet and donāt do any crafting! Iāve not finished any crafts the last 2 months!! Hope Iāll get some respite as weāre having Easter Break the next 2 weeks, and I definitely WONāT do any WFH or homeschooling then!
@storerboughtcreation - I hope youāre now settled into your new place! It sounded quite a bit like a road trip move!

I hope that you can find some crafty mojo soon! And, we have our official April break in a few weeks, and Iām wondering if, as a teacher, Iāll be expected to still be posting daily assignments. We havenāt really been given any information about whatās next. RIght now, weāre in a holding pattern- review skills, fun activities, but no new work, and nothing can be graded! So, anything we post is optional. I do have about 20 (out of 100) students who are looking at the work. I really donāt know what to expect when they have us teach new material remotely. So, know that teachers are experiencing the same frustrations as you. And, enjoy that break!

I feel like I let my team down. I started out really strong, but then with moving back and forth across country (a few times,) and packing and unpacking and everythingā¦ crafting didnāt really take a back seat, but pictures and posting most certainly did. I am mostly unpacked (until the isolation orders are lifted,) so I am hoping to get in a habit of doing better. I really loved seeing everything that was posted!

I think thatās the biggest problem for us school staff at the moment. No precedent was set, nobody knows how to do things and no 2 schools in the same council do the same thing it seems! My girlsā primary teachers post āgridsā with different work to choose from for Maths, Literacy and āother school workā (topic, IDL, PE etc). The instructions are to pick 2 things from each grid (so 6 things per day), each about 30 mins max, so youād do maximum 3 hours school work probably. Which, in total is all ok and great even with me and hubby WFH.
Twins however are on mutinyā¦
My friendās school (primary/elementary as well) just up the hill from us has different settings. Thereās the teacher sheās job sharing for example who is sending out daily tasks ā¦ and far too many in my eyes.
My work (High school) is doing everything via MS Teams, so every class has their own team set up (and thatās what I have been working on from home ā¦ I must have typed every studentās Scottish Candidate Number at least 5 times in the last 2.5 weeks) and they provide assignments with due dates and files etc there. We also provided paper packs for those students who donāt have internet access.
Of course as with you - we donāt know on either primary or High School level how much kids are actually doing!
The main thing for us at the moment is getting the kids outside for exercise so they donāt sit on their tablets for hours on end. Oh, and theyāre reading to their grandparents via hangouts and will phone some family friends to cheer them up.
As for crafty mojoā¦ yeah, letās hope so. I just need more energy right nowā¦ thatās probably the worst for me. Maybe the official Easter break being the light at the end of the tunnelā¦
Donāt feel like thatā¦ life got in the way for me too, and I didnāt even do all the cross country moving! Hope youāre all settled in now?
Thereās the new Thread up, lots of nice time to craft hopefullyā¦

Thanks, Iām settled for now, but when the isolation is lifted we go back across country (work stuff.) At least Iām in isolation with most of my crafting materials.

Iāve had parents complain about A) Getting multiple e-mails with conflicting information and B) not having the work count. For us, itās an equity thingā¦ if not all students can access the instruction, we canāt count it.
But, I do what I can, and in the downtime, I get to craft! We have a āhalf dayā scheduled on Good Friday, so Iāll be off the computer at 11:00. For now, I have to stay by it, just in case.

Seriously. No one is disappointed in you! We just love seeing what you do share, and I look forward to seeing more of your stuff soon!
Iām in SC now, but our stuff hasnāt arrived yet. No one seems to know where it is. Iām not going to stress out about it until Friday. It should have arrived on Tuesday. So maybe Iāll start crafting more soon
