Proud Momma

We are officially one quarter of the way through the school year.  Whew!  4th grade has been a huge adjustment for all of us.  There is a TON of studying/homework.  Little Man struggled a bit with math this quarter which was a first.  I thought it was because we switched schools and curriculums, but after a few conversations with moms of kids who started in kdg, I was thankful to discover that this is a difficult concept rather than a curricular issue.  Ra was able to earn all A's and one B this quarter.  We are proud of how hard he worked, especially in math.  He got up early to go in for extra help 2x/week as well as studying over the weekends, doing extra work at home, etc.  I also proud to say that all his hard work has paid off.  His teacher texted me last week, the evening of his 1st math test in MP 2 to let me know he scored a 97% on his math test!!!  Maybe we've turned the corner.  His new goal is to earn all A's in MP2.  

Kendall has adjusted very well to kdg.  She's scored all S+'s and 2 S's.  She's only graded with S and N for needs improvement.  She's working hard with reading and memory work each week.  She's scored all 100% on all of her weekly tests during MP1.  This MP, she is going to have to take spelling tests.  I'm so happy she's doing well.  Being such a young 5 in her class, I wasn't sure if she could handle all day kdg.  She seems to be doing well.  She's tired after school, but is thriving.  She's a social butterfly and loves all her friends at school.  I'm so thankful for her teacher who she adores and is like a sponge in her class.  She has learned so much at school about Bible stories and scripture.  She told her Grammy that her favorite class is Bible.  That just warmed my heart to hear.

Okay, bragging done.  I'm so proud of my kids and all the hard work they do to score good grades.  I hope the rest of our school year goes as smoothly.
