Governor Pritzker announced that all k-12 schools will be closed from March 17th to March 30. So I have lots of e learning to set up! It was strange, I knew it was coming, but felt gut punched when the words came over the radio. 2 weeks- 3 if you count spring break- As long as school was in session, I could hope that life would go on as normal- with a lot of extra cleaning and hand washing. But that announcement really hit hard- life was going to change for at least 2 weeks. Well, on the bright side, the bathroom remodel that has been almost done for almost 2 years! and then there’s putting tile on the landing and the 1970’s kitchen needs updating…..

Musings of an elementary science teacher
This is the second post about what we teachers can get done while we are on our extended Spring Break. I hope to be productive, but I’m worried about what my Scholars. We just got notified today and I don’t know how we will serve them.
Yep, we did too. At 230 we got email that we would be open next week, but to bring home things in case things changed. By 4 the governor made an announcement that all k-12 school public and private closed. My husband works for a private school and get’s paid hourly- for work- no work no money so I was freaked, but he says we’ll figure it out financially. As for the kids, I’m really worried- what about lunch, learning, and love- All three they are guaranteed at school- at home is another story- and our families- who takes care of the kids so they can work and make money? It’s a scary decision to be sure, but I have to look at it in a positive way-
