Hellobee Boards

So, we are thinking through this now as we await more info from our schools, they are closing the next couple days to figure out a plan, I'm sure they will close for the next few weeks.

My office just told us to work remotely for the next month. We're very lucky that we have a nanny that comes already for 5-6 hours a day, so we will shift her hours to be earlier so I can work while the kids are home....

My kids are in preschool and 1st. Hoping the schools provide some guidance on work to do at home, but we've started outlining a daily plan for each kid that will involve: schoolwork with worksheets/books, etc - practicing writing for my older, some tablet-learning time, still researching various programs, we will have cleanup time where each kid will have one chore a day, then outdoor play time after lunch, and maybe one more hour of school, and some time to play boardgames... I think having a schedule mapped out for each will be KEY so they have something structured to follow while home. Already my first-grader is asking if he can play video games all day

Our schools have closed for 2 weeks.

DH has work from home capabilities so as of now he will work from home and our 6 yo will be there....

Our daycare (inhome) has not closed yet, so as of now our 3 yo will continue to go there

My work has no work from home capabilities BUT I know a lot of us are parents and a lot of us will have to be the ones to stay home (i'm not in that category... but i know 3-5 that would be)… as it is now they are stating we would have to use our PTO/time off butttttttttttt I'm kind of hoping that changes and they offer some type of paid leave. If they do then I'll be staying home with both kids.

The schools are sending home some work stuff today with the kids so i guess we'll have DD look at that daily.. other than that we'll plan to stay home as much as possible and enjoy the time together/off...….

Our schools are closed end of day Monday and will get at home instruction sent home. They might be sending home their in classroom ipads? I'm not sure as we haven't gotten a lot of details yet. I have a first grader and 2 preschoolers. I'm working on a schedule and will have the preschoolers do online educational games and letters/numbers tracing worksheets while the older does her homework. I'm assuming my office will send us home but that still hasn't happened. Thank goodness spring weather is starting to settle in and we can go outside at least.

DH and I are currently not agreeing on plans since he thinks we should just travel to see family during this time off school. However, I'd rather stay put where I at least have control of the cleaning and have our regular stuff on hand in case we get sick.
