At first, online learning was hard, but Jackson figured it out and now, he is enjoying learning from home and is able to learn new things faster.

 At home, Jackson is very comfortable in his new environment. He is able to relax more.

“He can get on the floor and roll around if he feels like it, he has his pets that he can reach over and pet. It helps him get out that energy, and then he can sit back down, focus and do his work,” said Tina Sudderth, Jackson’s mom

Since schools closed, Jackson has learned a lot of new things. He now knows how to see time on an analog clock. He is also learning times tables and division.
