Virtual PE

Long before the pandemic struck, I signed up my oldest son for summer school PE.

Well, because of the pandemic, all summer school classes turned virtual, including PE.

I give a lot of credit to all the teachers for adapting to the new normal for school, but for PE especially, I can tell how challenging it has been for my son's teacher.  She does live workouts and has to monitor and watch all the kids for progress; the kids do runs on their own and she has to trust that the documentation they send in is honest; she has had to be flexible in finding new ways to teach and engage students, when PE is supposed to be an interactive / active class.

I appreciate the teacher so much for all she has been doing for the kids so far, and she has had so much patience.  This isn't easy for the kids, the parents, or the teachers, but everyone is trying their best to make it work.

My son has been enjoying the class, and sometimes we tag along on the runs.  

I'm interested to see how he progresses as the summer school session goes on.
