Virtual grade 1 with exemption We're close to the end of the school year. We chose virtual school again this year, and we applied for a full exemption from synchronous learning. At completed the required homework on time and occasionally participated in class. The teachers were okay with this setup. What worked well? = A+ generally did the homework quickly, giving her plenty of time for self-directed learning and outdoor playdates. Most teachers posted detailed instructions and resources. <> It was extra nice when she took the initiative to do her homework. 82 I liked knowing what they were learning about in class, and following along with the homework. 2 ₂²² A+ likes to read at night. Working asynchronously. meant that we could usually have laid-back mornings. What was a little challenging? Sometimes A+ was too tired after playdate, and homework was hard to get through. Sometimes she resisted doing homework with me. She always managed to do it, though. W- helped. Sometimes I got a bit antsy about what we were missing out on, choosing to not do, or not doing as well as some of her classmates (Comparison is the thief of joy.) Sometimes big feelings were hard to deal with. I) Choosing virtual school again next year. I hope it works out just as well!
