FALL-ing Into Place

Nolan takes a break from Math with a snack  and some YouTube while at his Aunt Linda's

 Past 3 weeks have been about maintaining a schedule.  We have needed to make adjustments and have even decided that we will do a few classes over the weekend so that Nolan goes into the next week with a lighter work load.  

This past week Nolan took a day to work from his Aunt Linda's house.  We also spent some time at the library to get an outline together for a writing assignment. I have identified that writing assignments still need more attention and time.  I have partnered with a friend and mother of another Virginia Virtual Academy student to tag team on this. Will keep you posted!

He had his first field trip today with Virginia Virtual Academy at Jumpology! It was good to get out and see all the grade levels participate.  

We were even able to visit sister Adrianna for lunch last week, which was a good break from the usual day. We try to do this once a week!

Nolan is still working on his art sketch. This had to be put on hold to focus on his other subjects for now. Next week he will pick up where he left off. 

Extracurricular

Last week Nolan took his learning outside the home and into his grandma's back yard.  This 13 foot tent was a huge challenge. After reading the manual and placing what we thought were the right pieces in place, we realize that we were ultimately missing 2 key parts.  It was a good effort for a base and he was rewarded with lunch from grandma! 

This week, we are working on a new schedule suggested by one of his teachers.  Nolan has been pretty independent this week with his studies, and has had lots of outside time this past week riding his bike.
