Family Tales: This Is What My School Day Looks Like Questionnaire
Our series, Family Tales, is an honest peek into the daily lives of families across the country who are on this crazy ride we call parenthood!

In our school day diaries, we serve up a detailed and personal account of your daily life, as it relates to your school day routine. From perspectives of a stay-at-home-mom managing distance learning with a 1st grader and new baby to a family with three kids who are following a hybrid distance learning and in-person class model, we're here to provide an intimate and realistic portrait of your life. We want to know the good, the bad and the ugly, including schedules, what works and what doesn't, your frustrations and joys, and surprising moments you've experienced.  

All stories are anonymous. By submitting your information below, you agree to have it published on Red Tricycle and Tinybeans and you allow our editorial team to adapt or edit your submission for grammar, context and readability. One of our editors will reach out if she has any further questions to help us fill in the blanks. We can be reached at Editor@redtri.com.

Thanks for participating!

Part 2: Your school day diary
Please keep a diary of your school day (It should be in the first person.) Please break down your day into chunks like morning, mid-day, afternoon, evening and nighttime—or whatever periods of time make the most sense to understand what your day looks like. We want to hear specific details (even if you think it’s mundane) on anything related to your daily school day activities. For an example see this story here: https://redtri.com/distance-learning-works-for-my-family-i-want-it-to-continue/ *
