This was finals week for our spring term. Helen and Gibson finished school last week. Abe had a big project to finish up for his business class and Becky had a couple of final exams. Since the classes had to move online quickly in March, each teacher developed their own system to make distance learning work. This is a photo of Becky's set up for her abstract algebra final. The professor had all the students join a zoom meeting so she could watch everyone work. She pinned the video so her screen was the largest to prevent us from looking at each other's tests. At the beginning of the test, she emailed a copy to everyone which we printed out, then took the exam and finally scanned the test to submit it to her. While the process worked, it was very clunky. The entire term was stressful for all of us and we are glad summer break is here!
We celebrated the end of school by trying to ride our bikes through the drive through at DQ. It turns out they don't allow bikes in the drive through lane so the employee wouldn't take our order.
They let us come inside to order. We couldn't eat inside because of the restrictions due to the corona virus. From the left are Gibson, Eddy and Jason.
We have lots of plans for projects and activities now school is out. One goal is to learn how to make gluten free ravioli. Brandan and Becky made an attempt with some cheese filled ravioli on Friday night. They turned out great. We're looking froward to perfecting our recipe over the summer.
We have a bumper crop of raspberries this year. So delicious!
Becky made some raspberry freezer jam on Saturday morning.
Helen had a flat tire on her bike and Abe showed her how to fix it. Our kids ride their bikes every day now so Helen was happy to get it fixed.
