Along with watching others JV usually acts in at least one play a year. We have weekly and monthly club meetings that fit into our schedules. We have Sunday School and in- person Church services. We have in person music lessons and enrichment classes.<br><br>Although, many of these are still available virtually, it just isn&#8217;t the same, is it?   We don&#8217;t have the break in our day or our drive or walk to the club meeting.  We are at home in front of a screen. Which is something our family does not do much. There is no TV time during the school week and no video games during the school year at our house.<br><br>Below are a few things that have helped make the changes a bit more bearable.<br><br>No big surprises here.<br><br>We start our school day later than usual. <br><br>Our calming morning music is now loud, crazy happy music that includes Disco, Funk and Folk. <br><br>We walk just about every morning.<br><br> JV doesn&#8217;t do as much in a day. <br><br>I incorporate more animation time, art and cooking time.<br><br>Our day ends a little later than usual. <br><br>These small changes and expectations have eased some of the anxiety and stress that has surfaced since our days have changed so much. <br><br>What have you done to switch things up a bit during this pandemic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>COVID has changed our homeschool.
