School Daze

I am so proud of both kids!  They are working so hard in school and we have gotten such good feedback from their teachers. 

The first line in Matt's assessment was "Matt is an independent student who completes work showing his best effort."  This meant so much to me as we try so hard to teach the kids to give 100% no matter what they're doing.  Mrs. Grady said he helps her in class and works hard.  He is 1 of 3 kids in his class who gets to do research on a topic and then prepares a presentation for the class.  He is reading very well and even got an award for reading 25 Caldecott books! 

Matt was student of the week a few weeks ago and we had fun putting this poster together with pictures of all his family and friends.  Matt we are so proud of you for working so hard and mostly behaving in school! 

Marlie is doing so well too!  She has started reading already!  Mrs. Lisa said she loves having her in class and can always count on Marlie to give the right answer...sometimes before she's even finished the question!! Marlie got the award for "Best Personality" and also got a "Star Student" award, both of which she was VERY proud.  If you've been around her she's probably told you about it. 

Marlie loves school but has asked me a few times if I could please teach her at home!  She is the perfect student but the 2 times she has been in trouble she went all out!!  One time she "mooned" someone during nap time and the other time she whacked another little girl.  YIKES!  It's that red hair...you better watch out!
