Cam had a day off from school today and enjoyed the free time. Bethany's schedule has been different than most other schools. They have held class via teleconferencing every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 9-3 with Wednesdays open for time to catch up on homework and teachers available for help sessions. Doug and I believe that it has been an awesome way for students to stay connected to Bethany and to continue learning. Lessons have been meaningful and challenging for the most part. Hank has even held spirit day contests and every Monday has posted a weekly back to learning motivational video.
Overall, Cam has adjusted to the new schedule well and has stayed on top of his workload. With that being said, he definitely was ready for a break today and made the most out of it. As the majority of his homework was finished by lunchtime, he decided to spend the first part of the afternoon unlocking race cars. I was glad to see that he had two new ones for Funky Kong. After he finished with the Wii, Cam and I decided to drive through town looking for Pokemon. He had redownloaded the Pokemon Go app several days ago and I had been bugging him to go out looking for new ones with me. It was fun just to get out of the house for a little while and in the end well worth the effort as he found a Raichu for the first time.
Cam did devote some time this evening to school work. He had to make a scavenger hunt for Spanish which I helped him film on iMovie. It was actually a lot of fun. He included the guinea pigs for part of it complete with footage of them cramming themselves into their house to avoid him. I was impressed with how well he read and pronounced the clues in Spanish and had a lot of fun working on the project with him. Only three more weeks of classes and his Freshmen year will be completed. It will definitely be one long remembered by all of us.
