There really has been little blog-worthy to post here in the last month or so. Alex continues to do well at Indiana Connections Academy, and I've been having fun re-learning a lot of stuff that I'd forgotten from my school days.
At the beginning of October, we went to one of the school's welcome picnics and got to meet his teacher and some other students from our area. We got t-shirts, ate some wonderful food, went on a hike, and made friends! It was a great afternoon!
Last week we did something we never would have been able to do had we kept Alex in a brick and mortar school. We went on a trip! Alfred ended up getting a minivan as his rental car and only had to go as far as Cincinnati to work. The day before he had to leave, he asked, "Would you like to come with me?" Since we hardly ever get such a chance, we decided to grab all of Alex's school books and hit the road. He was able to do some of his work on the way, and then he did the rest on his dad's laptop at the hotel. It was great to be able to spend the extra time with Alfred in a way that didn't interfere with school.
I LOVE this program!
Oh Michelle, when I read this I just got so excited for you guys! This new school is such a blessing to your entire family! You have no idea how thrilled I am that it's turned out to be so good for Alex as well as the rest of you.
ReplyDeleteWow...what an opportunity! I'm so happy that you guys had that experience.
