Love when she knows how to Zoom better than I do, and use my paintings as a background

Adventures in distance learning

leave a comment »

with the weather change she’s been getting bloody noses everyday. Sometimes on camera which I think is gnarly and awesome and she thinks it’s terrible. She manages to go through quite a bit of toilet paper just for her face.
I have no idea why her nails are black. She does wash her hands a lot but she needs to scrub under her fingernails

School from Home

leave a comment »

Darla is meeting with her class and teachers via ZOOM.

I am watching from the office. She moves too much and of course, insists on taking the call from my room which is not lovely (at the moment). zoooooom

This is so surreal. We are reinventing education as we go. I am so thankful to  Ms. Walker and Fenton Charter schools.

I might be even more thankful if Darla would stop trying to hold her cats up and have them join class!

Darla has time off of school and thought she would help cheer everyone up by writing stories.

Chumash research

Signing the guest book
Checking out the Reed huts

About 20 miles away, in Thousand Oaks, there is a Chumash Indian museum.

We checked it out so Darla could see the village before building her diorama. She currently has our kitchen table covered in a cinnamon/apple sauce mixture molded over plastic Easter egg shells.
