The flexible schedule (Flex Class) allows your learners to watch the pre-recorded videos and do them at a time that is FUN for them! You can also spend extra time on the topics your child is most interested in. Since this is a flex class with no live meetings, students can log in at a time that is convenient for them to complete the week's lesson. We will be going through each week as a group and I will post the lesson weekly (depending on which day you started).

Getting tired because they’re not getting enough sleep.
