We offered to host the pod for the first week. A. is the only girl, and she is new to this school whereas most (if not all?) of the other four aren't, so we thought a little familiarity might help get things started. Also, we figured that any mistakes we made as hosts would be indistinguishable with general problems getting the pod system started. The first day of school was yesterday.
Right around 12:10 AM yesterday, A. woke up with a fever of around 101. She went back to bed relatively quickly, but then woke up again around 2 AM. There's also a runny nose and a cough. We gave her acetaminophen and we don't think this is anything serious, but, of course, we couldn't host a pod of 4 more kids when ours has symptoms vaguely resembling coronavirus. You can't be too careful these days. So around 7 AM, with only about an hour to spare and short on sleep, we got a different family to host, dropped off some supplies with them, and prepared for home schooling while working from home. Yayyyyyyy...
The school is still figuring out how distance learning works. Yesterday there was online classes in the morning. For some reason A. is very shy in most video chat settings but we basically kept her on track. The minimal requirements are very forgiving. In the afternoon she took a nap, and fatigue is a symptom of several different illnesses, of course.
