If your child is learning from home.. what's made you smile?

DS (year 4) has the school's music teacher for registration and class time. Every morning once the register is done, he puts the words of a song up on the screen and tells them all to stand up and join in while he sits at his piano playing and singing the song. Luckily he tells them all to mute themselves or it may not be so pleasant

It really gets the day off to a lovely start and DS really seems to enjoy it.

@MotherWol my girl has a kw place on a Friday and is thrilled to have fish and chips and jelly.

I'm a geography teacher and I work part time. My dd year 7 had geography task to look for human and physical features on a walk so we turned it into a full on field trip with a map and everything. She loved it and I'm so happy she's a mini geography lover 👍

The pink shade my DS turns when he speaks on teams meeting. I have never seen this happen before to him.

Seeing DD light up in a way I'd never have been able to experience otherwise. The spark in her makes it so worth it. I really value that.

Teacher here.
Thank you for this thread.
I needed to hear this. It’s so worthwhile reading these comments, we rarely get the good feedback, and this has made a very long week better

Sometimes it can be difficult to feedback though, I'm not sure the humour translates all the time. We had a video maths lesson on fractions in which the teacher used slices of cake to help the kids order which fraction was bigger. The fun came from her utterly sarcastic tone of voice and the fact each example was about her greedy husband and how much cake he'd taken - DS was giggling away as the video played and did the questions in much sympathy at how much cake this evil man had taken from his lovely teacher. She also did one video with her DD throwing beanbags in which her DD was clearly cheating to beat her score - again it was in the sighs and the eye rolling which perhaps wasn't the most professional but was totally human, and the interaction that the kids needed. I can't write that in an email though

@PeterPandemic
Yes you can - copy everything you’ve written in that post and email it to the school, my HT would roar laughing at the cake incident
