Virtual Learning Day

Wawasee cancelled last night, but Bethany did not until this morning.  They had sent several emails yesterday letting us know that it was a strong possibility that they would have a virtual learning day instead of a snow day if needed.  Cam woke up at 9:30 to find out that his first assignment of the day was to make a cup of hot chocolate and get ready to learn with Mrs. H.  He did have work to do in all of his classes except for computers and PE.  Some revolved around reading and others on building sculptures in the snow.  I had to listen to his new oboe piece and sign a sheet.  He also had to take pictures of certain activities and video himself clapping the rhythm to his music.  He finished and submitted everything by 3:30.  When I asked him if he liked doing a snow day that way, he said, "Definitely!"  What a great way to engage the students and keep their school year flowing.

Meg and Cal had a traditional snow day.  Meg is more than ready to go back to school.  We did get out to go to tennis tonight and had we know how back State Road 15 and Milford-Syracuse road were we would have never gone.  The snow plows have seemed to ignore our part of the county, so once the seven inches started to melt they left it as slush.  It then froze and now it is drifting.  On one part of our drive Cameron asked if we were even on a road anymore.

We did make it safely to tennis.  The roads in Warsaw were a lot better.  We had dinner at Buffalo Wild Wings and then took US 30 to State Road 13 for the return trip.  That was a lot better.  Wawasee has a two hour delay already.  Cameron does not have school as it was a scheduled day off.  Can't envision having school tomorrow, but we will see what the morning brings.
