Home-schooling Triplets & Twins During The Covid-19 Stay Home Order

Well, there's was a reason I chose NOT to homeschool my triplets & twins. 

Hats Off to those Parents who do!

It's just that I am not Patient, I am not Smart, and I am not Qualified! But really, we are making a legitimate go at this, honestly, its been a rollercoaster.

I knew when the Corona Virus locked us in our houses in March that we could not allow the kids to play video games for 6 months until school started again in August. I did want them to have some form of learning. I just did not know I would be forced to be the one to do it.

This is not school, its not summer break and yet its not even true homeschool. We do what is assigned or they will not pass.

My main goal here is to help them learn some skills and make memories. We have done dishes by hand, found random seeds in the yard around the house and they have learned how to load the clothes washer, dryer and dishwasher!

They also have an hour online in a Zoom class with their teacher and friends. Their teacher will often read or play songs, games or videos she chooses from YouTube. We've even had a teacher dump freezing cold water on her head if the students beat her in a game. They love those sessions.

The key to spur of the moment home-school is just keep them on a schedule. If not, they will eat you out of house and home! The boredom will drive them right into the fridge. So keep their brains occupied or to the pantry the will go. And we are so thankful to the school district for continuing to offer meals to the kids. They continue to get free breakfast and lunch everyday that's not a holiday. And because we are on lock-down no one has to go except my husband.

We Miss Our Teachers SOOO Much!!!

Even when I feel the Weight of the World on my shoulders. I know that what is important is, we are all safe in our home. I show the kids love. They do have fun, and that we are bonding and getting closer with all this time spent together as a family.
