Collin and Maya got their report cards two days ago, and they are doing AWESOME!!
Collin struggled last year with his reading speed and accuracy. I was in a PANIC because my brother struggled and struggled in school. I was concerned that Collin would have the same fate. He is a whiz at math, but his reading and handwriting were off. His teacher last year worked and worked with him, and he made some progress. She was amazed at his math skills. He even received the President's Award in math. He amazes me. He can do math IN HIS HEAD that is WAY beyond his grade level.
Anyway, that was last year. This year his teacher kept telling me that he is doing great in his reading, and all assessment tests she has given him, he has been above where he should be in his reading. He scored a "5 --Student extends mastery of this task beyond the instructional expectation of the course." What a blessing!! We were both so concerned about his reading, and this year he is doing excellent. I guess kids all learn in their own time.
Maya is also doing well in Kindergarten. She is right at grade level with all of her scores. I guess we'll have to tackle the reading thing with her shortly. She has shown interest, and is slowly but surely learning to sound words out and read on her own. She loves her teacher, and loves school--especially the social part!
Collin and Maya, I am so proud of you, and I am so happy to be your mommy!
