Another week of #stayathome and Ethan hasn’t really slowed down. Other than missing nature school and being outside with friends, Ethan has been rolling along with his learning. There have been more online classes available so that’s been a bonus. Here’s what happened…

This morning, Ethan had his symphony class. They’ve been having classes online. The students are supposed to record themselves playing and the teacher will compile each person’s performance into one piece. Should be fun to hear it!
Ethan had another busy week. It’s definitely not easy being home all the time, not being able to attend activities at the community centre but Ethan seems to be doing quite well. We’ve certainly spent even more time together so that’s always something to be grateful for.
