Another snowy Monday

I haven't been in the office on a Monday in weeks!!!!!  And my team, usually has a Monday morning meeting.  Instead, our team has been working remotely (Newton, Brookline, Somerville, Wellesley) while we each dig out our homes.

Again, and again.

And now that this is our fifth snow day in 11 school days (my kids have had five snow days and six school days, unless you are my daughter, who was sick all last week).  The kids are bored of snow days.  They are old enough to help us shovel, but shoveling gets old - fast.

Today, we had choice time.  They were each given lists of activities (that should take 30 minutes each).  They were to check in with me at the start of the activity, and then again at the end.  We met during the break time, so I could review progress, and make sure the next activity was ready.  Today my daughter did 30 minutes of reading, one your of Khan Academy for math, thirty minutes of type to learn and then 30 minutes of class Valentine's Day cards.  My son did 45 minutes of reading, thirty minutes of researching what the Torah parsha Naso is about, thirty minutes of Hebrew Bar Mitzvah study and talked about his next book report on Mockingjay.

And now it is 2 PM and both are having screen time.  Because I have to get some work done!
