Whelp. The kids had their first day of hybrid learning! They woke up very sleepy but both were excited to get going with their day and ready to see what it would be like to be back in the building. This was Paige's first time ever riding a bus to school so she had an extra element of newness beyond even just starting middle school. There are a lot of changes to keep track of too! They'll be in the building two days a week with half of the students. The kids have to wear masks all day, unless teachers mandate a mask break outside and they can't use lockers so they're stuck carrying around all of their supplies, textbooks and lunch for the entire day. You're not allowed to share supplies so if you forget something you're out of luck! No water fountains either so you have to bring a water bottle. For Paige, lunch means eating at a table alone or with one other person. Owen's lunchroom is bigger so there are a few three-person tables. Owen wasn't super impressed with in-school learning but Paige loved it! She was so happy to see her teachers and felt much more comfortable learning that way.
