To say that this school year was interesting might be the understatement of the year. The kids both had a great attitude and really enjoyed the school year even with the obstacles that they faced. McKay's year was pretty normal. Luckily his preschool did not require masks and they just were extra cautious with hand sanitizer. He loved Ms. Carey and all of the friends that he met. He did a great job learning his letters and their sounds. According to Ms. Carey he was a good listener and student in general. Brooklyn's school year was a little more up in the air. It started with online learning and then after a few weeks went to hybrid, where she was in the classroom half the time and at home learning virtually the other half. They then went to school fulltime for a few weeks before heading back to hybrid. By Thanksgiving time they were back in the classroom fulltime for the rest of the school year. Brooklyn did have to wear a mask the whole year and was a great sport about it. By the end of the year they no longer had to wear their masks when they were in P.E. or outside at recess. Brooklyn's teacher, Mrs. Cox, was fantastic the entire time. She really handled everything so well, she kept the students safe but wasn't crazy about the rules. When some of the teachers went on strike, she was still in the classroom. She really was fantastic and Brooklyn really enjoyed her time in her class. I wish I would have been able to go help in the class and get to know her better, but they didn't allow any volunteers in the classroom. We've got our fingers crossed that next school year will be a little more "normal". Brooklyn was over masks by the end of the year and really doesn't want to have to wear them again, which I don't blame her at all. And just like that Brooklyn is done with 2nd grade and McKay has finished his first year of preschool. As a parent all you can hope for is that your kids teachers help them love to learn and look forward to going to school and both my kids teachers did that.
