Firstly, there was the Circuit Breaker from 8 April to 4 May. And due to the Circuit Breaker, there is full home based learning for the students. And hence I am working from home.
The first week of the Circuit Breaker was challenging. Darling was also working from home. Yuanze and Yuanyi were at home as well. I was planning learning packages. Yuanze was asking us to play with him. Yuanyi was crying and wants to be carried. I had to carry Yuanyi and put him on my lap while I do the screen recording. And the screen recording can capture Yuanyi cries at certain times.
Then a few days later, the ministerial task force say that, we cannot bring our kids to our parents on ai daily basis for babysitting purposes. And my MIL suggested putting Yuanyi at her place for the time being, if not very difficult for both me and darling to work from home while taking care of 2 kids. So we agreed with this arrangement.
And then one week ago, the Circuit Breaker was extended until 1st June. And the June holidays were brought forward, and will be from 5 May to 1 June.
So the cons of this CB period are:
- Every saturday cannot bring Yuanze to swim
- Every sunday cannot bring Yuanze and Yuanyi to tampines to visit my parents and sisters
- Doing HBL packages are making me vomit blood, as well as the checking of submission of assignments, chasing students if they never do the packages, calling them or calling their parents
- Never get to see Yuanyi :( :( :(
- I miss the interaction with my students and my colleagues
The pros of this CB period are:
- Spend more time with darling and Yuanze at home
- Improve my cooking skills
And that's about it.
Honestly, I prefer to go back to school.
But anyway, I understand what the government is doing.
So in order to live longer and stay healthy, we should just stay home, until the covid19 situation is over, and life can be back to normal.
Sharing some photos of Yuanze doing his HBL and also exercising with me. :)
To all my friends, jia you during this period!
