5th and 7th Grade

Fifth and 7th grade kicked off remotely. 


A drive by meet and greet to pick up junior high schedules. 




Junior high zoom orientation in pajamas on the couch.


Peabody meet and greet behind plexiglass! Saying hi to Mrs. Craviotto.


Mrs. Mueller was Thatcher's 5th grade teacher for a short time before she went on maternity leave.


Classrooms in bedrooms.


First day of junior high! 






Who would have thought you could just roll out of bed and into class?! 


After the first day, I don't think either kid ended up getting out of their pajamas.


Ready to log off and hit the beach. 


First day of 5th grade and Thatcher DID wear pjs to the first day of school.







Mass amounts of messages re: in-person school vs. hybrid vs remote.....


Zoom schedules.


"Clean part of your house" was something I liked for the quiet time menu.


PE


Class of 2026 survived this and are about to head off to college.





I loved listening in on Thatcher when he was participating in class. I loved his desk surrounded by toys, legos, hair a mess, pajamas - remote school was weird but in looking back now it was kind of fun.


Parent Zooms about waivers and hybrid plans...




I'll never understand the 25% that didn't want to come back for in-person instruction wanting EVERYONE to choose that route. 


School could be done from anywhere, even the car!


We began to maximize our time with wanting to go places since school didn't really get in the way.



More PE



The constant ParentSquare alerts 😐 


Virtual assignments that made me smile.



Legos, water guns, skateboards - multi-tasking at its finest. 



Covid class photos.


Covid art shows.



Thatcher began to get the hang of remote school.


A little too much.



The only time I paid attention to the district school board meetings.


Peabody somehow maintained ceramics from home!




I could hear Thatcher in class all the time and while I loved that he was participating, he talked nonstop! 


Remember colored tiers?!


The kitchen was just steps away which Thatcher took advantage of and loved!
