In person school has been good on many fronts, Lucy is happy to go each day and we like her teacher. Lucy is building good habits by completing her daily homework before doing the fun stuff.
She did push back a little bit last night when solving a word problem in math. "Why can't Shelly help herself? Why is she asking me to figure out the age of her sister?" She's a funny kid. Thankfully, the delay tactic didn't take too long and soon she solved Shelly's dilemma.
There have been two kids in her class that tested positive for Covid-19 and my anxiety is now lower than before on that front. Both students were exposed outside of school, and the school does an assessment of who the student has been in close contact with and then sends them home for two weeks to incubate. (There is no online option, so they are on their own for keeping up with the class.) No one is told who tested positive, but a few simple inquiries to the kid and it becomes obvious. The yellow kids are the ones who were out with the first infection, and the green with the second.
Kids from the first round have returned to school, and only the center X seems to be experiencing any noticeable issues. (Keep in mind our information comes from a 10 year old, but she's pretty reliable.)
Lucy is excited to have her classmates back as the 'yellow' kids were also at her lunch table and she had to eat alone for two weeks. I wouldn't have thought the distancing that the school mapped out would be effective, but thus far, I'm impressed.
We are anxiously awaiting FDA approval for the kiddo's vaccine. I feel like we're playing darts.
