First Day of Fourth Grade, Third Edition (Also Pandemic Edition)

When schools closed mid-March, it was *mind-boggling* to me to think we might not return in the fall (or, mid-summer but commonly referred to as “fall”). And here we are, one of the lucky (in my estimation, at least) few to be returning to in-person school full time! It looks different, clearly, but even my slightly-reluctant student was more than ready to return. The early reports have been very positive, too! No doubt the masks will grow tiresome very soon, but for now she’s all smiles.
