Not that it will revive my garden at this point, but, still. It must be frustrating to have to plan for both in class and virtual teaching! Does anyone have any guidelines to offer?

We need days like that where there isn't a hard agenda, time to do homely things. I'm curious about school. If kids opt for online does that mean you'll have camera in the classroom and just teach once or do you have to do everything twice -- once to the live kids and again in a different format online?Jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17482528482559445943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372726504543914139.post-58484327421917329552020-08-17T09:08:08.701-04:002020-08-17T09:08:08.701-04:00Enjoy the rain.

The chickens will do better once the wicked heat and humidity are behind us, I'm sure. We haven't heard yet what the schools around here are going to do about opening. A lot of our colleges are only doing online for now. I'm sure things will work out after a while.

Son picked up a job at a garden centre (open air!) and then construction (open air again!) and daughter got in with the same organization she was with previously in the communications department, and was able to mostly work from home. <br />I have given the chickens a pep talk, but so far, they're not listening.coffeeontheporchwithmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17618627688821849806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372726504543914139.post-23908839161438400702020-08-16T18:37:29.415-04:002020-08-16T18:37:29.415-04:00Here it is school starting the day after labour da...Here it is school starting the day after labour day (as always), but teachers have scheduled days to be in before that to learn about all the health and safety procedures. I'm not sure I'm comfortable being a "health care worker" or "safety expert". That's not what I signed up for, but I guess there are lots of people in these roles now. Parents can opt for in class or online. They can also change their mind and just give a week's notice that their child(ren) will be switching.coffeeontheporchwithmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17618627688821849806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372726504543914139.post-60959953791531144802020-08-16T18:35:08.787-04:002020-08-16T18:35:08.787-04:00It rained most of Saturday, but tapered off just b...It rained most of Saturday, but tapered off just before supper.
