May 20, 2020 - As this quarantine has gone on, my family has gotten more used to it, and more use to seeing each other every day. At the beginning of quarantine, it felt like time was going by so slow. But now, it feels normal, and days are passing by quicker. One problem that has been occurring lately for me is my free time. I don’t really have much to do anymore because I have done everything that...

Today is May 20, 2020. We have just passed 2 months of quarantine and to be honest, it’s getting much better. I’ve been thinking a lot about my life before being stuck inside. All the activities I did before are starting to feel very abnormal. Things like going to the grocery store, to a pool, or even sitting inside a car aren’t things I’m used to anymore. There are many states planning...

Today is Thursday May 21. I have noticed the patterns of how our work goes throughout the weeks. Some weeks we have more, others we don’t.  As quarantine becomes longer, it just becomes more boring. Doing the same thing every day is not fun. So I have been trying to keep myself entertained by doing fun activities. Last week ,me and my sister tried to tie-dye some old shirts, and this week we...

Today I worked hard with my mom on putting the piece for the show together. Just like everyone else, I have been stuck inside my home doing my best to not lose my sanity. I figured out that "online learning" is just teachers giving homework to their students and I have a lot of that to do so I can stay busy. I myself also have been taking time out to do what I enjoy most. I started watching this new...

Today we started week 4 of remote learning. This week the work level went up once again. Since remote learning has started I have gotten used to not being in a classroom and learning with my fellow classmates around me. I have also developed a good schedule that allows me to get all my school work and soccer work done by the end of the week.  To me, quarantine has allowed me to have more time to...

Day 42 of quarantine and it’s been an eventful time, but at the same time it hasn’t been. No sports or seeing your friends. I will say binging great Netflix shows is great, but there's only so many. Also, I can only keep up with my family so long before we drive each other crazy.  I think that’s already happening with the fact I can’t see any of my friends. And today, beaches were supposed...

It is April 28th, 2020, 12:00PM. I, Samuel Daher, am at my house in Carlsbad. Throughout the days of quarantine, It has been hard getting used to our current situation with the COVID-19 Pandemic and the school shutdown. This has made me concerned with my workload. When I started working from home, it was hard to stay focused, and I easily got tired and weary while doing any activity. On the first...

Today is Wednesday, April 24th, 2020. I have been stuck inside the house for a month and 16 days and I am going crazy. I miss my friends and school and everything that was taken after we were put on lockdown. If this time has taught me anything, it is that you can not take life for granted.  Yesterday the number of cases in the US hit 1 million. A million people have gotten this disease, but there...

Today, my brother, sister and I finished making the body of our latest craft, an electric viola. Now, all that there is left to do is to apply finish to the body and attach the strings and pickups. Right now, we are waiting for the pickups to arrive, so we can’t do anything until then.  This week’s homework is much the same as last week’s. I should be able to finish my work by tomorrow, perhaps...

Mrs. Marshall's English class put on a book fair from their independent reading books. Kyle Jakubowski (Gr. 6) saw the benefits of the project. "I think the book fair is a good idea... It gets people into reading more. " Chanse Smothers (Gr. 6) liked the recommendations from others.  "It helps kids learn about how good the books are." Brady King (Gr. 6) liked the creativity. "It's very interesting...
