WHAT'S THIS ONLINE SCHOOL I'M HEARING ABOUT - WEEK 2

Many of us are interested in the virtual school that is now available to children in Limestone County.  We have a few of them here in Elkmont who are trying it out this year.  One of the parents involved has agree to share her experiences with the system, the good, the bad and the ugly. Look for her posts each week.


Dawson and I have

completed our first full week with ALVA (Alabama Virtual Academy). He actually got finished with all his lessons for the week yesterday! So for today and tomorrow we will have/had required class connect sessions (this is where he listens to his teacher teach the lessons in each subject). We also have the time for extra work on being a better reader, and some art and music. We might even go out adventuring for something educational that we can log hours for! This first full week has been a learning experience for me and Dawson. But we made it. I just hope he is learning something😂😉! He seems to be because I can ask him a question about something from the day before and he gives me a correct answer! 

So that's why it matters where numbers are - place value

I urge anyone who has a child that just doesn't seem to do well in school because of distractions or bullying or whatever the case may be to check into K12 or the Virtual school through Limestone County. It helps Dawson with the fact that he can get up and move around whenever he feels the need to. He really couldn't do that at a brick and mortar school (the name us virtual people give regular school😁) without disrupting class or interfering with other students learning. But so far so good! #firstweekinthebooks
