The grandchildren and great nieces and nephews have all been ensconced in the CTL compound since schools even thought of closing. No one has been allowed in or out.
Chol HaMoed they can play basketball, tennis, volleyball, badminton, hopscotch, jacks etc in our yard and courts.
This year, I have decided that it may be cold, but I’ll open the swimming pool and crank up the heater.
Being in the fresh air is good for them. NO excursions to parks or public playgrounds. Just the family who is already here. No other members of the family will join us for Pesach this year, safety first.
I have planned some projects that will have the kids help prepare the gardens for spring planting. As part of math and science we’ll build a tree fort, calculating loads, figuring angles to cut and mitre, area for how much paint or stain needed to cover, etc.
This is a great time to teach life skills and self sufficiency.
