Students around the world are doing their best to adapt to virtual learning amid the novel coronavirus pandemic, but some are struggling to focus outside the classroom.
For John McInitre and Ixi Blandón’s daughter Ixel, working at the kitchen table hasn’t been ideal. The 8-year-old has special needs and can’t concentrate on schoolwork with her toys nearby, so her awesome dad decided to build her a study space to call her own!
But Ixel’s favorite part of the schoolhouse? The roofing panels her dad spray-painted into a rainbow!
The interior, on the other hand, was painted all white to help Ixel focus on her work. According to her parents, it has all made a huge difference!
“There’s been progress, like she has her books here, her markers, her pencils,” Ixi said. “And she can be a little bit more independent on her learning always with somebody here.”
