We were texting, but he wasn’t able to start on time. Instead of making excuses or giving up, he did as much as possible and then hit the ground running the second week. He has learned how to upload all of his work to Seesaw and has sent the five samples per week I requested. Antonio is keeping up with Lexia, attending several morning meetings with his counselor, and attending every weekly live homeroom class. I am very proud of how he is exhibiting all of the habits of mind ready for high school and then college! He wants to work with computers or engineering, and he is already showing the organization and drive it takes to do it!” ~ Stephanie Lee, Supervising Teacher
