Dumbledore's *Reading* Army discussion

Here you can talk about what it's like to be in quarantine, how you're passing time, suggestions for how others could pass time... and stuff like that

No school for 5 months, after which I'll be in the next grade

but I feel bad for all the seniors who will never get to go to prom:(

I find it is helpful during quarantine to have some kind of big project that you completely gradually, or a hobby that you enjoy and reduces stress for you :)

also, my family wants me to cook a dish for Easter dinner this coming Sunday. does anyone have ideas for easy-to-make, easy to follow recipes that don’t have a ton of ingredients, but are still delicious?

where you live, when did the school closed? in my country it closed a few weeks ago, beginning of march, and we will most likely go to school in the summer :(

Where I live, schools were closed in march 12 for 2 weeks, and then that extended to 6 weeks, which became 7, which is now until the school year is over

We were on spring break when they closed our school for the rest of the year. We are doing online classes three days a week, though, so no one has to repeat anything. It's pass/fail now

Rn we have online school until May 15

Where I live, schools were closed on march 16th for 6 weeks then it was 8 weeks now its the rest of the year. Now I have to do stupid online classes and i'm totally gonna fail math.

I'm trying to learn how to dance and speak French

A really good way to pass time (that is not reading) is to learn something new, in my opinion

Really I was trying to learn Spanish or some other language but, its sorta hard without a teacher helping u. What r u doing other then reading to pass time.

I go on runs a couple times a week with my dad

That sounds like fun. Do u have any siblings.

lol u got this just run through the pain. Just don't hurt yourself. What else r u planing to do during this um interesting time.

I've just got a bunch of school. My math class is 5 credit hours so it takes up pretty much all my time, which makes my english class suffer because I procrastinate it so much...

yeah my online school is really difficult and time-consuming. I’ve been trying to improve my photography and videography skills in the free time I have

Oof that's rough

ciao!

You could try using duolingo!

obviously I'm spending this time reading more books

lol same

Lol yea same. Especially when I should really be doing my school work, but I keep reading books instead.😅

haha same yesterday I read for like 5 hours instead of doing math

oh that sounds terrible!! i feel ya tho. I've spent so much time on math lately

Okay, so I've been so bored that I wanted to grow an apple tree in our yard. So I was cutting the apple to get the seed, and I cut my finger open. Two of them actually, and I broke my nail.

ouch!

i wish I were that bored!

it hurrrrts

so much

ouch!!

I'm so tired but I still have so much homework to do:(

oof

this is my spring break, so I don't but just for this week. I cant even type properly because of my finger.

ugh

But the plus side is we get to chill in Pj's all day

that's true. I don't even get a spring break!!! but then again, I only have 2 weeks of school left so...

Lucky

I'm not going to school for the next 5 months

and then I'll be in the next grade

My math homework is KILLING ME!!! I'm literally about ready to throw my computer across the room and rip up my notebook. I'm utterly lost

how is everyone's life? now i am on easter holiday, when the holiday is over we will star online school again (at least my school will, since most school where I live dont do it), and then i may go back on 1st of june to school to take the end of the year exams and stuff like that, but most school will go the whole summer, and have only 2 or 3 weeks of holiday and we( me and my classmates) still dont know if we will go or not since we did the school online :((

I've been spending my time reading lately. I like being able to read more but I do miss leaving the house.

I am currently learning french on duolingo so at least I'm learning something new.

I'm liking it so far :) I like how the website also tests on speaking and doing the english to french translations.

How about you?

I've broken my streak :(

For Spanish they have lots of stories targeted at different levels. You should check it out if they have something similar for French, it's really good

Or you could do what I do: My local library has an ebook app, and I have the app on my phone which allows me to download things from the library to my kindle

I just dragged a 200lb (approximately) box up our porch steps (there are 15 porch steps) all by myself. I think I messed up my back

ouch. impressive tho
