Thankful Thursdays ~ Home schooling

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Realty ~ 512.750.6899

Don't you just love Beautiful Beckett's new desk? She and her mom painted it and now her lessons are studied on-line at home during our Shelter in Place mandate. She picked out the perfect spot by a front window with lots of natural light. I'd say this girl is in the groove of finishing out this semester of school. Home schooling isn't so bad..... she even likes her Mandarin Immersion program with Zoom as she can interact with her teacher and classmates.

Beckett is looking very studious Dorie Dillard CRS GRI ABR . I remember having a desk like that back in elementary but of course it was institutional gret.

Love that desk and that quote.  Here in East TN my grandkids are still struggling because our board of education is having a hard time getting everyone laptops and such.  My granddaughters are keeping up but I fear a lot of the low income students will be falling way behind.

Beckett has an eye for design, color and placement! Love the color and the placement of her 'improved and updated' home desk!

This picture could be the face of the shelter-in-place schooling going on all over the county! Beckett's desk by the window is perfect, as is her concentration.

All these kids were already pretty clever with computers following this none of them will want to work in offices, they will all want to work remotely.

Dorie - what a fun project for mom and BB to have!!!  My niece is juggling her teaching duties while schools are closed with making sure her sons are doing their work and then there's mini-me!!! She too is doing work at home.

Dorie, looks like Beckett is locked in and focused on her online class.  Everyone has had to make adjustments these days.

Hello Dorie - BB looks to be deep in thought - she seems to be adapting to home schooling and I have heard so many similar success stories with children(as well as others) and how they are adapting to this change in everyday life.

Now that brings back some good memories for sure.  That is the kind of desk that I had in my elementary school years, of course, it wasn't painted a fancy blue like hers, haha.

Dorie, I think we had a desk like that growing up!  Too cute, and probably makes her feel like she is at school.

I love the quote. I’m going to check out the photo in a bit. For some reason, it’s not showing up I’m my iPad. I’m letting Bernie sleep, so I’m out in our family room 🙂
