Virtual Academy: Week 7

Week seven was short and sweet with only four day!

Kate and Max were busy bees and the asynchronous time mixed in is really helping them manage their time!  Added new this week was the ability to hold books at the school library for touchless pick up outside - Books To Go! Also, they started their Fun Fridays in which they pick a class to pop into and do a fun activity like (bring your pet to school, Harry Potter Trivia, Geography Mania, etc.) - such a fun way to mix up the kids virtually and let them be themselves!
Anna had an exciting week with Student of the Week, starting the Human Body unit, and all the fun challenges the teacher uses to get the kids thinking critically and interacting with one another.  It is amazing to me how much content the teacher is covering while building relationships, having small groups, meeting with kids during office hours, offering a variety of extension activities and giving thoughtful feedback on all the assignments.
Alex is thriving in his little kinder corner!  He is reading, writing, cutting, pasting, making videos, counting, sorting, meeting in small groups, using various programs as extensions for all his core subjects, looking forward to each special (especially PE).  His teacher amazing me with her brilliant smile, bubbly attitude and truly a passion for what she is doing.
