This Earth School Quest was created by the following incredible educators and environmental experts: Kathleen Usher PhD
I had fun spending time having fun with my family and doing my school work and staying healthy. Also we live there and we like our home so who would want to leave their home?
I like my home because I have all i need there,I have food, board games but more importantly family. :]
At home, we get to relax and spend time together with family. It's also very comfortable and its easier to ask family members questions for homework. But I what I enjoyed most of all is playing with my siblings and pets which is a great way for people to socialize with their families.
I love my home because it is the only place where I can feel my mother's love, father's protection, and grandparents' warmth
I have fun doing things that I like that I couldn't do a lot while I had school. The extra I guess are used up either together as a family, or alone, doing our own things.
I love to be home because most importantly, I can be with my family, spent time, and share happiness, laughter, and sometimes even sorrows with my family, with my mom and dad. And being home makes me feel so free and secure.
I've enjoyed spending time with my family, watching Stranger Things, and going outside more often.
im gonna be homeless soon.
What I have enjoyed about being home extra time is being able to build a closer bond to my Dad, my stepmom and my stepbrother. Getting to lay around and watch movies or play games, even taking walks or ordering food and just talking about all sorts of silly things has been extremely enjoyable.
my family and i have bonded a lot
Spending extra time at home, I got a lot of free time to do many things I want to do before. For example, I have already finished five novels! I really obtained a lot from reading. Also, I have always been wanting to learn some Korean. Now I have time to learn it and it is really interesting!
I like my house because I can spend time with my family and because I can play with my friends from a distance and play with my sisters paddling pool
I like staying at home cause I can always finish all my work and so I get to go on the computer, and my dad said that animal crossing new horizons will probably come today! I like staying home because it saves my time and challenges my (non-existent) time-management skills!
Being able to think about life...
I have enjoyed getting to spend more time with parents. I have less school work and more time to read. I am even becoming more healthy.
This pandemic is proving as a boon to us.
I'm literally giving myself more time than always studying. I am doing workout, writing poetry,poems and doing photography as well within the safe area. It give me a lot of time to make myself productive. I'm cooking also. Making new types of dishes. I'm happy that I can spend my time with my family enjoy the weather.
The most amazing thing happing is that OUR EARTH IS HEALING. The weather is so good,the fresh air, less noise. Everything is nice. Good things happen for a reason.
I definitely know that we'll make a vaccine of Corona virus but until then we can enjoy these days by being productive.
I have enjoyed that nobody ever leaves, so I can do school, do fun things, go outside in our backyard, go on neighborhood walks, and do a parachute game with my mama, daddy, and sister! ~ Harmony, age 7
Next thing we know They will be using this on forensic files to solve murders. With this technology, Crime will be less
I like to just grab a book,flop on my bed,and read.
I have enjoyed that we are living in a stable and strong house than just a cave. Also, I really like that we can do a lot of stuffs in modern houses.
You can socialize A LOT right now
I have liked spending time with my family. It's nice to have my sister back from college and everyone home at the same time. It's also been really fun to play games, watch movies, and go outside together.
I'm sorry to hear, on the internet, there may be websites you can find of places and organizations that provide free food and housing near you.
The best parts of staying home have been time to learn more about my favorite subjects, and getting to know family (and friends through video chat/texting) better.
Being able to do projects I had since forever but never really had the patience to do.
I had fun with my family helping my mom, drawing reading book and watching Ted ed
painting and reevaluating my life, as well as finishing reading a clash of kings
I liked how I can be lazy and watch movies and talking with my friends and drawing and trying to learn a musical instrument.
I enjoy using this time to learn. Not just content knowledge (like though earth school!) but also skills like cooking and drawing.
I'm having a lot of fun getting closer to my brother, who went off to college and just recently became a nice person. It's really fun getting to know the nice version.
I've suddenly got a lot of time to discover more places around where i live and have now got the time to learn things that i never thought i had the time too in normal life.
this is a fun break from standard school work
I have had lots of fun spending more time with my family, and more time to improve on the things that I want to do in the future
Valuing relationships and having fun bonding!
I like being able to spend more time with my family, especially since I'll (hopefully) be going to college in the fall.
I enjoy spending time with my family and the technologies at home.
I like that we have freedom to pick up hobbies that we just didn't have time for.
What I've enjoyed most is just having more quality family time. More time to just hang out, to chat, to play board games. It's just all really nice.
Home is something you can never replace because that is where you had your childhood.
All the times when i get to play indoor games, watch movies and shows, have meals together and cooking with my family. That was the most enjoyable.
I have enjoyed playing with my parents, especially dancing, having extra bed time stories (one from each parent) and watching earth school videos. Amber (age 6)
Learning to truly love and accept who I am.
I have enjoyed the extra hours of sleep
Spending time at home is fun as in our family get to play together and watch TV together so I don’t need to get out of my house that much, especially now.
I have enjoyed having my own world at home to do creative stuff, learn about earth school and maintain sanity dealing with online classes. But of course with my family, stressors are bearable. Alsssooooo, the activity I enjoy most is planting seeds from store-bought produce!
I like being at home more because it's nice to be with family all day, it's cozy & I have no homework.
I have enjoyed spending time with my family and getting to do fun things that I would not normally get to do at school, although I miss my friends a lot.
Watching 🐦 birds on trees 🌲 while studying early in the morning
I have enjoyed most relaxing and playing video games.
I have enjoyed being able to talk to my family when I need them instead of waiting to the end of the day. I have also enjoyed time when I don’t have to be around anyone.
The thing that I’ve enjoyed most about spending extra time at home was being around my dad and our three dogs. Before quarantine I was rarely home and we didn’t get to spend a lot of time together like when I was younger. I missed spending time with him and my dogs because they haven’t gotten any of my attention in a long time. I finally have time to relax and be comfortable being at home all the time.
I have enjoyed having my family around a lot, especially because I lead a busy life. It is always fun to have game night and things like that. But also, home is where Animal Crossing is, so that might be #1.
Digging in deep the feelings and aspirations of my family members have in general and specifically as well is a great asset. the connection to near and dear ones is really unique.
i dunno 🤷♀️
I do a lot of coding, so it's been pretty great.
I had fun staying home because I get to make food or watch movies and relaxing and stay healthy and also learning new languages with my mobile phone.
I've gotten to spend more time with family and to explore my interests.
I love my home because it’s really clean. I have enjoyed extra time with my family and played games and explored. The only thing is I can’t see my real dad but I have FaceTimed him.
I think being at home more has actually made me more protective and provoked me to become more active. I also get to spend more time with my family.
We realize that there can sometimes be more fun in our own house than some of the most fun things in the whole world!
During these trying times, I try to be more thankful and grateful for what I have right now. Everyone living under the same roof with me, i will forever cherish.I sincerely hope for great things to come + better health.
I get to pursue other interests that I otherwise wouldn't have time to do! I also spend more time with my pets :D
The ability to be involved in my families life style and help find way for them and mysellf to improve on things.
I have enjoyed having more time to focus on my hobbies at home as well as use the extra time in quarantine to be productive and clean my house.
I am warm and knowing that I am safe,I play with my familly in my home a lot and having a lot of fun together.
I can get organized
I have been able to spend more time with my family, but I have 2 brothers, 1 is a baby, so it has been really hard for us with him. Also, it has sometimes been hard to do all of my work just because we are home.
Gostei de passar mais tempo em família e de ter mais tempo para me cuidar!
I get to play more video games
More time with my dogs
More time with my family
the feeling of comfort
ya
I enjoy playing boards games, having more time with family, making and eating food at home, and lots of screen time.
I invite my friends to my house and play video games together.
집에 친구들을 초대하여 다같이 비디오 게임을 합니다
내가 원하는 시간에 밥을 먹을수있으며 내가 원하는 시간에 잠을 잘수있는 점
Adriano (age:9): I've enjoyed that life has slowed down and we're not in a rush all the time. Things I would take for granted like listening to birds chirp or seeing trees bud are so special to me now. I enjoy the time I spend with my dog and my parents.
I have fun spending time with my family and it is nice being at home.
One of the most unique things is, finding spots where sunlight falls. As it filters through different window panes and nets, they fall so beautifully into the house. The best part of extra time is, you get to feel what your home is like - its texture, style and smell - things you might look above, usually hoarded by schedules.
I have enjoyed Sunday afternoon. Mostly, I tackle my report and my father cook for our dinner, my mother surf the internet. Everyone do another things each. But it’s confortable for me.
I just like chilling out and doing archery
spending time with my family is definitely the best part about staying at home
spending time with family and trying things i havent tried before but only safe things like swingball or PE with joe wicks or even talking to my friends.
Spending extra time at home because of the pandemic gives me more peace and relaxation, and more time with people and things that matter most. I love how I am able to play with the kids, talk with siblings, and do the things I love in the comfort of my home.
I like it because my bed is in my house i like to sleep lol
By spending more time at home, I've finally been able to sit down and read all the books I've wanted to read for a long time as well as Netflix shows I've never had the time to watch. But I also enjoy the extra time to hang out with my family.
The situation today has caused us to spend all our times in our homes. This has given me a lot of good experience. I have got more than enough time to spend with my family. I have also got to know my home better than ever. This time has become a long refreshment period for my regular schedule d livelihood before. This is the feeling I have enjoyed the most in my current homestay.
I have enjoyed having lots more time to play - Finbar 3.5 years
I have enjoyed spending more time with my family and doing more activities like crafts, reading and going outside.
Spending time with family and pets. Relaxing as the school year is over. Doing or learning things I would not normally do.
I have actually been avoiding it as much as possible. I have really enjoyed spending more time in the natural areas around my home.
I had time to do more of what I did not have time for before isolation. Also, I got to jnow the sorroundings better and to spend more time with my family and pets
more FAMILY TIME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!MORE FAMILY TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!MORE
I have enjoyed more family time and seeing more of my dad especially.
I have enjoyed being with my family, spending time outside working with some vegetable and flowers. My mom has been teaching me about succulents' and replanting. As well as playing on my x box and play station..
I love spending time with my family and having an opportunity to get my things in order, with out the constant stress of daily life. Though school is still going on, many of the other life activities have now been cancelled so we have a chance to relax.
I am more of a homebody, so staying home is something I can easily adjust to. Staying home with family is nice and in some ways being quarantined has brought me closer to my friends(emotionally, still got social distancing).
I adore having much time, which i can spend at home. i really love to spend it in the laid back atmosphere, whatching TV-series, eating and doing many other things. So the quarantine was a splendid opportunity to do all of it. I can't say that I waste my time, because I also study English and communicate with my family.
Having more time with family. Getting to know some new people through online calls, and others through helping neighbours. Learning new games that can be played via skype and zoom.
i have enjoyed spending more time with my family (even tho my little brother gets on my nerves) ċikka age 11 from Malta.
I have fun doing what I want, whenever I want. Even when I am doing my school work, I can take a break at any given moment.
Doing and trying different activities and having a new routine to the normal school day
Having to stay at home is a good break from the busy schedule we are put into during our normal working days, we dont have to face the stress of rushing before peak hour or squeezing into crowded transport. Being at home helps me to think better and reflect on how I really want my life to be like, it’s really great.
I like staying at home, with family and pets and although it can be hard (everyone stuck together) it is fun getting to spend more time together.
I don't need to get up so early and I can organize my activities more freely.
im/ home/ alone/ all/ the/ time/
Spending extra time at home is an opportunity that I have made the most out of. Reconnecting with family, doing useful tings at home, decorating and purposing etc. Yes, I am having a tough time to stay happy without my friends, but I engage myself with Earth School!
This was interesting to know! Thank you!
I enjoy spending time with my wonderful family, I have everything I need in my home, playing cards and books.
I have used the extra time at home for making myself fitter and sharper with my skill sets and have enjoyed the feeling of doing it with utmost dedication.
I spend my time watching TV and with my dog
I have fun having more free time even though it can get boring at times.
I agree with a lot of what has been said. spending time with the family, having a roof over my head, enjoying the comforts within, having a place to pray.
I have enjoyed renovating my house so that we will have more space to have fun.
I really enjoy organizing and cleaning my room since I don't have time with all the homework, I also like being able to stay in my Pima as all day and watch some TV
In the past, my house has acted as more of home base for me to tag back at every once in a while, but now I am enjoying having my own space. I have made myself more comfortable at home since I have been spending so much time there.
I think it is having talks with my family
my family
I enjoyed getting closer to my family...not that I wasn't before, it has just been nice to play around, argue, and ultimately grow and mature more together.
I got to be with my family and learn new skills with so much time on my hands.
I have imensely enjoyed just that having extra time to just be at home. Clening, having that little stillness and rush at the same time, learning to appreciate little moments with my family and pets and just the learning the powerfull skill of admiration.
The thing that I have enjoyed more is to spend more time with my family, and also spending and caring more about me.
I have enjoyed getting to know my family better and learning new things about our family every day.
I had fun catching up with my family and getting closer!
During this pandemic situation....our eyes have been opened to the stuff that actually matter an it has given us an understanding of how significant a habitat is and how we have been knowingly and unknowingly destroying the habitats of other living beings.....If a lesson has been learnt during this pandemic.....it is that we should respect other sentient beings......
가족들과 이야기 하면서 밥먹을때가 가장 좋다
tengo todo lo que necesito en casa
I love this story
I play soccer and I play with my dog
Lo que más he disfrutado es tener tiempo para descubrir cosas increíbles y tener ideas de cómo combatir o enfrentar el cambio climático, de igual manera amplia mi panorama para valorar cuan afortunada soy de tener un lugar para descansar, un hogar.
~I bonded more with my family.
~I could read more.

Mainly just being grateful that I have a roof over my head from this traumatic global pandemic.
More Fortnite and more time with family!!
I like my house because I can be more time with my family and I enjoy that
Spending time with my family and do things that I didn’t did before also cook and try new things.
This situation has made our lives a bit more wonderful, it has given us a major turn from our current lifestyle, got much more time to spend with our loved ones, remembering our Indian traditional games, literally enjoying a lot and learning some more new things!!!...
I pass more time with may family, I can learn new things
Me gusta mi casa porque tengo todo lo que nesesito alli pero lo importante alli es la familia
Estoy de acuerdisisisimo
I get to be comfortable be with my family enjoy time at home I also like the design of my home and things in it but the most important is my family and pet
I agree
I don't like my home.... I love my home and it is because I love to spend time with my family.... This "quarantine" has taught me many things too... :)
Home is family and family is home. There is a sense of belonging, freedom and sometimes tranquility.
I think just being with family, listening to them and annoying them at the same time
I have gotten to spend more time with my dog and family during quarantine and I love it. My dog is 15 years old so I want to spend as much time as I can with him. All day long we play board games with my whole family and it's awesome.
With the extra time at home, I've enjoyed the me time where my mind and heart could rest from my busy life. Also been spending time by taking listening to online classes and reading :)
the quality family time
I get to spend more time with my dog!! :)
have fun with my family
I have only lived in two different houses my whole life, and both of them means a lot to me, even thought they're both not particularly fancy. There's a saying in the Asian culture: 金窝,银窝,都不如自己的小狗窝。It roughly translates to "Your own scruffy flat is better than any gold mansion." And honestly I agree.
being able to do more gaming
Spending time with my family and more time to just relax.
The close family bond and the secured feeling when I am at home with my loved ones.
I have enjoyed spending more time at home, because I am with my family a lot more, and I can feel that our bond has strengthened even more.
I agree with everything everyone else said. "I am FREE at home!".
yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeettttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt
i want my wikkelhouse to be made completley out of screens so i can play minecraft in evry part of my home the bathroom bedroom outside kitchen and more,even the toilet
I've enjoyed getting the opportunity to learn more about what I like and do more activities that are more appealing to me. I've also been able to learn more outside of school, with examples like Earth School. Overall, just the ability to stay at home and rest, play, work, etc. when I want has been the most enjoyable.
Hanging out with my family and watching Anne with an E + other movies together.
I enjoy staying at home because I have fun with my family, study, taking care of my baby brother Liam, play games with my family. I can go on and on and on...... but that's enough
I believe that our home is the most comfortable place for us in the whole world. Nothing ever can compensate for the 'feeling of being at home'. Nowadays, due to the pandemic, we are spending all of our time in our home and have developed new interests like baking, painting, doing yoga, dancing and what not. I have truly gained a new perspective of life about how the whole world can go upside-down due to an organism that we can't even see. I have really enjoyed reading, baking and painting in the lockdown period. Spending time with our family has strengthened our bonds with our parents, siblings, uncles, aunts and grandparents. This pandemic has made all of us realize how much our family and friends mean to us and more importantly, how recklessly we were living on the planet we all call HOME.
spending extra time at home has allowed me to try new projects and hobbies I've always been 'too busy' to do (e.g. start learning Spanish, read more, do this course) as well as enjoy more family time (most nights we will watch an episode or 2 of Modern Family together)
I had fun spending time having fun with my family and doing my school work and staying healthy.
For me home is where everything is. My family, Laptop, Food, Blanket and my Pizza Rolls. Home is where i feel safe and where no one can harm me or my loved ones. Home is what brings my family together.
that helps me so much with that video
i love spending time at home just because it is the only place where we are comfortable and relaxed. secondly i can enjoy playing with my pets at home and the most important point among these all is that i can sped time with my family at home.
At home we get to relax
At home, we get to relax and spend time together with family. It's also very comfortable and its easier to ask family members questions for homework. But I what I enjoyed most of all is playing with my siblings and pets which is a great way for people to socialize with their families.
Time with family and talking to each other more about everyday things. Having the time to learn about things that I want to know more about i.e. Earth School, and finding the time to do things that I have put off for weeks i.e. cleaning, ironing, exercising, finding recipes for cooking (experimenting).
Being able to spend time with my family and also to stay healthy and generally relax. And now I can do my school work in my own time.
I dont like my home because creepy crawlies are eating me when im playing minecraft and sleeping!!!!!!!!
I have enjoyed spending extra time with family.
People enjoy the convenience of staying at home and spending time with their families. I think that some adults choose to work from home in order to spend more time in their homes, the place that they like the most.
I finally had the time to paint the mural I always wanted in my house.
I enjoy spending time with my family, we usually play board games and have playful banters.
I enjoy mostly relaxation and being away from the noise of the city.
What I have enjoyed the most about spending so much extra time at home is how I'm not as tired and don't need to wake up as early. Since I am not going any where, I don't have to wake up at 6 am each day
Spending extra time at home had lead me to new hobbies and new discoveries. The physical structure of the home is not the only thing that needs fixing. Styling the interior isn't the only way to make the house better. By intentionally designing the interactions to improve the relationships within, we make great homes. Being forced to stay home also allowed me to make up for the lost time spent in travelling to and fro the workplace, shifting my thinking from work-mode all the time to loving being home.
The feeling that we have somebody who loves us and cares for us at our houses makes them seem much more lovely and "home-like". A place for relaxation, full of love and warmth, is exactly what a house is.
What I enjoyed most about spending extra time at home was the relaxation from a busy routine and time with loved ones. Relaxing with family is a very nice experience.
That I can get to know things about my family that I had not notice before due to the time I spent in school, besides playing games with them and discuss different topics to know their ideas.
Self-exploration. Having time to work on myself and plan for my future.
from dust we come to dust we go
I have fun spending time in my home because of all the productive activities I can participate in.It can be cleaning my room, to cooking food!?Your house is like a place for you only!
I have enjoyed spending time with my family, we learned new recipes such as: preparing bread and I also really enjoyed making crafts and art, which is what I like.
I LOVE MY HOUSE BECAUSE OF MY MOM AND DAD I CANT WAIT FOR THE CURE!!! THOUGH
I have enjoyed playing outside and learning new things while at home ^^
I have enjoyed the most that we can spend more quality time with our families while being at home :)
I have enjoyed spending more time, and getting closer to my family and learned to value them more, even though sometimes it gets annoying staying with them at all times.
The ability to have more meaningful conversations with family :) (also not having to wear pants as often)
i had more time to speak and be with my family, and staying healthy
We have enjoyed watching great TV from around the world like on TED ed (and Gumball, Teen Titans and Ninjago), drawing and making art and reading good books such as The Sheep Pig, A Wolf Called Wonder, Artemis Fowl, Sputnik's Guide to Life on Earth and many more.
I think there's a dust mite in my house, so I'll have to keep my house tidy. It's even more amazing that dust from my house comes from not only my house but also.
I enjoyed family time and playing chess
I enjoyed most watching film with my family.
Having fun times with my family and having not too worry about getting up in the morning. My house has everything I need to be happy and healthy.
i like home because home is safe,and i feel happy and peaceful.i can also be with myfamily,and i can eat my favorite food
I love spending time with my family and having fun with my lil sister.
I have enjoyed relaxing at home and spending time with my family. It was also healing and since I like to stay at home more than going out, it was nice.
I enjoy that we are able to spend more time with our families. I also like how many of us are getting more educated on what is happening in the real world and how we can reflect on what's happening and how we are affecting it.
I like staying home because I get to see my mom more and I have a lot more free time.
I used the quarantine to focus and learn on how I could be the best version of myself. The lock down helped me gain a lot of clarity in my life.
We can talk with our family and can spend a lot of time with them
i DON'T know
I enjoyed playing with my family and I can eat foods, watch TV and play chess.
I have a fun time meeting friends and classmates on zoom while at home.
I enjoyed watching movies together with my family.
Watching Netflix, eating, studying, and sleeping. It varies depending on what my mood is. There are also times when I clean and declutter my room.
The most part I enjoyed about spending time at home was getting to know each other better.
I have enjoyed spending more time with family and learning more about them , but also learning more things and ideas.
Being able to binge-watch all my favorite shows.
Not having to commute and spend hours in traffic is one big part of it. The other part is enjoying planting some flowers in vases.
im into dust now and want to learn more
What I have enjoyed about the extra time I have gotten to spend at home is that I have had time to self reflect, figure out what I want to do with my life, and have become more aware of my earth and it's problems.
Knowing my parents and other family members and I thinking reasons behind their behaviour
Probably the extra time with my family and my dogs
i will now look into dust as a cool thing and look close into it and then not throw the dust away
I have had fun doing this (earth school) over the quarantine. It really has exposed me to what the world is actually like.
its funs to spend time with family and I really enjoyed it because now I'm so tired of home.
I enjoy spending more time with my family and getting to have more selfcare days.
I can have sleepovers and hang out with friends at my house. I can also watch Netflix, spend time with my family and play with my cat
I have liked playing with my animals more, and there's not nearly as much stress staying home then traveling to lots of places.
Not preparing too mucn for work. I can just wear any comfy clothes.
working from home
Staying in a chill environment with my fam
This has been a great opportunity to not have any pressure on myself. I don't have to get this done before that because I don't have to do go out to do anything, so I don't have to rush my schoolwork to go somewhere.
the vid was fun
"Home"
This word evokes so many responses in one's brain. Memories of growing up with family, sneaking out of the house to meet your friends, learning to cook, having the first adult fight with your parents, coming to realization of various perspectives of each family member, growing together and growing apart and growing back together. Home is a mixture of emotions, lessons, perspectives, experiences and most importantly love.
Tom (aged 12): I have enjoyed discovering new games, and spend more time where I feel most comfortable.
I liked watching my shows at home as well as spending my time with family.
i we play free fire we can change the orld
I believe that this situation was much needed. As we all lead very hectic and busy lives, quality family times had decreased. Getting to spend time together and being able to interact with each other has been very enjoyable.
I can see my family and play with them
I enjoy being with my family. When we moved into the house we live in now, we were able to turn it into a home. A house and a home are very different. When you're with family, you will always be at home.
I like the familiarity because covid-19 kinda jumped out of nowhere. So I guess I like knowing nothing bad might happen. (P.S don't burst my bubble)
I like have time to do other activities that are not work or university, how i don't necessary use transport i have more time to play a game, watch a series, do other courses and stay with my family.
The most I enjoyed spending extra time at home is: being with my family, reading, doing fun things and laughing.
Getting to spend more time with family.
what I've enjoyed about spending extra time at home is sleeping
As it was the time of the pandemic. We have to stay in houses then usually. So, we have to find some entertainment and hobby to refresh our mind and body. Like this earth school course of ted-ed. I have been doing this quest right now. And, surely I am having fun doing it.
I had fun spending time having fun with my family and doing my school work and staying healthy. Also we live there and we like our home
I had fun to enjoy spending time with my family at my home.
I like my home because I have all i need there,I have food, board games but more importantly family. :]
I like my house and my parents, I have been getting closer to them in these times
what board games do you play?
any recipes for food? What board games do you play
Home is the typical place that me and my family spend time together most than the other places. So that makes it special.
I love my home because and family because it keeps me sheltered and I have food and clothes.
Mostly that I am more productive in my home and in my education. I feel like I have learned so much about my self and my surroundings and its been a fresh of breath air and a needed break from society and the rest of the world even from people that were close to me in my work and school environment.
I enjoy the togetherness of my family, cracking jokes and having fun.
I've enjoyed being with my family a lot more and sleeping in :)
I have had fun being with my family and having extra free time to have fun with.
I've enjoyed spending time with family, getting to relax more, texting friends, and more! Although online school IS fun, I miss normal school; and talking to my frineds in person.
Playing more Minecraft and getting to see my family more often - C&K 7&8
After spending my day outsides to go to school and work place, home is where I come back to recharge my battery. I enjoy cleaning the house and decorating it so much. I think it depends on us that our house will have a unique look and bring us what we want. Sometimes, I find cooking is a great thing to do, I can spend all my time in the kitchen and cook what I like. I also decorate a small corner in my bedroom in order to turn it into a chilling place, where I can comfortably practice calligraphy and create art there. I really love my house.
Extra time with family is always great, but learning new skills and watching new things has been enriching, and even led me here
During the pandemic, most of my time has been spending the learning such as languages, new knowledges such as TED, and career development courses to development my skills.
And eating the food make me happy. My brother, and sister are trying the new food that they explored in the You Tube.
I have enjoyed speding time with my family, going for walks around my neighborhood, and doing Earth School. Overall, a good (but weird) time.
Students responses: I could draw, do math, and watch TV. I enjoyed doing more art at home. I enjoyed getting to bake with mom. I watched a movie. I got to travel with my family locally. I got to spend more time with my family. I got to go to the dirt bike track. I got to snuggle with my dogs. I got to stay up later. I got to snuggle with my animals. I played with my family.
Mostly I enjoy spending time with my family at home. My family can just sit in the kitchen or in the living room and talk about different topics or tell us how his day went. We listen to each other with a great pleasure and give a piece of advice. When the weather is bad outdoors, I prefer sitting on the sofa wrapped in a blanket, drink coffee and watch a film. Also I like playing with my dog, because he is a part of my family and he as no one loves when I give him attention. My house has everything I need, so the assertion “My house is my castle” is exactly about my home.
I like to laugh with my family, and have dinner all together at the table. But I also like to have my one peace in the garage and paint.
I love laughing with them and building and cooking with my dad and talking and doing so much with my parents and I love that they would help me build my very own she shed
Being with my family and making up make up for the times I could not spend with my family are the most enjoyable things when I spent time at home.

I love reading books in silence of a corner at the busy, noisy house.

In the middle of this holiday season, it's a good time to have dinners and watch TV
I enjoy most about spending extra because I get to relax in talk to family in play video games
There is no place like "Home". Those staying apart from family can relate to this.
As a matter of fact, this pandemic is the perfect time to spend extra times with the family either to re-establish broken bonds or to maintain healthy family relationship.
wouldn't want to cry, regretting for not being there only when they no longer exist in our lives
(apologies if i sounded like a downer).
I enjoy my home because it is the only place where I can get my lovely mother's love and my only rest.
For me, living together with my family is the best thing, plus home is the most comfortable place to rest. Due to this, I enjoyed spending a lot of time at home.
I enjoy my room and planing my day how every I like
Whenever I hear "HOME", I feel warmth. It's a sweetest place in the universe. It's full of our family love. I like spending time with my family whenever I go back home.
I am a homebody and I'd rather stay at home in my free time than going out in the crowded place. The most enjoyable thing of being at home is that I can enjoy clean and fresh home-made food that my mom makes with her love. Nothing in the world tastes as delicious as mom-made meal for me. Besides, home is such a relaxing place and I am able to release my stress and tiredness by laying in my dreambed under a tree as our home is a separate building in a quite large compound. I can do something I like such as reading or listening to some music while laying on my dreambed. Also, my home is very quiet and comfortable. Such things make me enjoy to stick up to my home in my extra hours.

no
Making some meals and having fun with my family.
Cooking some meals, going workouts togethers, reading amd watching TV together with talking and discussion.
At home, we can share our experiences from school or work between family members and if we don't know how to do our homework, we can ask to our family members. These things make me enjoyed most about spending extra time at home.

Relaxing, Sleeping, Eating, and Reading.
what I like about staying at home is how I am able to relax and eat whenever I would like, sleep and take time for myself and having more time to spend with friends and family. I also like how I have taken up a new hobby, like baking. In which I can bake delicious treats for my family and me!

We are in the middle on a pandemic, which made most of us stay home a lot more than what we were used to. It has different effects on people I can imagine. As an introvert, I keep on enjoying the alone time and privacy I get in here... But sometimes it gets too streotypical even for me. Nonetheless, I imagine that I would become homesick very quickly if I were to spend a longer time away.
I've enjoyed playing with my dog, spending time with family, and having more time to do school work.
I have liked spending all day with my dog. It has made me more attached to him and he now goes everywhere with my family and I. I think everyone in my house is attached to him as well.

Due to the covid I have felt peace, but the desperation of not being able to hug my family members, but it has also helped me to have new ideas and do many things.
