Still stuck at home.
First I thought we'll be able to go back to our normal life
at the beginning of may
but the Education Minister said there won't be exam for baccalauréat...
It means we'll be stuck at home until home
even in June... Perhaps...
Amané is studying katakana and kanji with daddy.
She learned hiraganas by herself
but it's good to be helped by dad
especially for kanjis !
We're lucky Dad is at home those days, weeks...
Yuta is exercizing video every day.
I think it's a good thing to improve.
I'ma still very busy on the net for my foreigners students:
I try to keep in touch with each of them as much as I can,
and of course I have to correct their works.
It can be so terrible for them:
alone in a little flat, little room,
far away from the people they love the most,
in a different system, culture, language,
without seeing an ending,
a way to go back to their home and love ones...
I hope their mental health will keep good...
Amané found a puzzle Yuta did when he was
at junior high: all the pieces are fishes !
She's in love with this work.
we did a good art lesson, those days.
I found on the net some examples
of artists who used visual arts with geometry.
Amané loves geometry those days
so she really enjoyed:
Vasarely, Melito, Kandinsky,Deshayes, Yancey, Mondrian...
She did an exemple for each one of those artists !
When we visited the junior high school
she'll probably go to,
we discovered that for maths and technology
students learned programming
using the logiciel SCRACH.
Amané wanted to try,
so she watched some videos
and tried by herself.
She already created one story,
like little animation.
And she's beginning to create her own
video game...!!!
I'm so so far away from all
of those stuff of programming myself !
But I feel it can be useful, a basic tool for her generation.
Yuta still working...
He's creating some delicate poetical videos...
I love them so much.
Amané drew our garden with daddy,
like impressionists,
they stayed outside to draw the reality.
Still doing homework on mornings.
We send them every 2 days to her teacher.
Teacher correct them
and send us a mail.
Lucky Amané it still not so much,
and she's really good for it !
Lot of my friends are quite struggling
with homeschooling:
for lot of them, it's too much work,
and kids can't concentrate so long.
We are so lucky Amané's teacher doesn't send so much !!!
I really hope
it will stay like this.
After homework, she's still looking at
the didactic program, in replay
on TV.
She's learning, but for her
it's like a present !!
Still some beautiful haikus.
She's reading some books for the 5th time...!!!
And she's doing an old puzzle...
Of course we still try to go out everyday
for one hour.
Sometimes we don't because I'm too busy,
because Amané and Yuta are doing their own stuff...
But we try and it feels good,
even if city is empty and so silent.
Because it's sunny and warm,
we eat lunch outside
as much as we can.
I missed Didi and Dada a lot,
Amané also.
She copied a Van Gogh painting for them.
Also, I had some masks at home.
So I decided to go to visit them.
First I thought I'll stay outside, in the street...
But I couldn't,
and even if we don't kiss each other,
it was good to share little time with them.
Dada gave a lot of books
she had in her house (Nine, certains sont à toi!)
for the young super reader !
She discovered Cyrano de Bergerac.
One neighbors cat come to our garden,
and Amané was really happy
she can touched him !
