Day three dawned tired and uncertain. Our contractors haven't finished installing the backsplash tile over the counter, so our usual workspace is full of the counter's contents. For the first couple of days, since they are almost done, i gave the kids a day off and we worked on the novels we're reading together. (A post for another day)
Unfortunately, they didn't complete the grout on Friday, and further breaks are just a bad idea. We moved upstairs to the kids bedroom. Not ideal, but comfy and roomy enough for all our materials and bodies.
Our morning was also disrupted by sloppy sleep schedules over the weekend. And we all woke up very late.
All in all the result was poor. We skipped our morning work. We made it through half the school day. I climbed up and down the bunk bed and was generally more in the way than usual. People were sleepy and hungry way too frequently. And we had i fight for progress.
I did learn a couple of useful things- i can completely navigate the day without my own laptop. The lesson plan books are delightfully complete from supply lists for the day and broken down stepwise. Also, school at the table is just necessary for now.
Hope your day went better than mine!
