on my kids and their report cards!!! They came out the week before last, but then we all got sick...
Elisabeth (a "Kindergartener", kind of) got her first report card with grades. In our county, they get E (excellent), S (satisfactory), N (needs improvement) or U (unsatisfactory)...this is for Kindergarten through 2nd grade. Anyway, she received all S's (I guess a "B" average) in all of her FIRST GRADE LEVEL classes, except for Math, where she received an E (aka "A"). She is doing first grade work as a Kindergartener, and still basically making A's and B's! She's an awesome reader, and knows her math!
Nick (a 5th grader) got all A's in all subjects, except 6th grade math, where he received a B. But considering it's a grade level higher than his age, I'm proud of him! He's been reading a LOT and has a lot of reading points (each book has a computer test and is worth points based on the difficulty of the book). His goal for the school year is 200 points, and I think he's almost half-way there. His writing and drawing is fantabulous, and he's just doing awesome, compared to his rough start in the first quarter. He's still in band, playing the saxophone, and really enjoys it along with learning to play his guitar. (No lessons yet, but he's pretty good at figuring it out!)
Both kids are doing awesome in soccer this season. Nick's team only has one loss and was tied for 1st until this past Saturday when they lost their game 0-1 and fell to 3rd place. They still have a shot at the championship because they have awesome coaches. Elisabeth's team is in 3rd place and worked their way there from 5th or 6th, I believe. Jerry and our new pastor are coaching her team and doing a great job.
Okay, yeah...that's my little brag! :)
