Sometimes it feels like we're pregnant, but that is not it... Christian has completed his first trimester of second grade and WOW what a trimester it has been!
I was telling Christian all along that I've been excited to sit down with his teacher (Mrs. Gateley) and talk to her about how things are going! His attitude at home has been great, he's doing his homework, his reading has improved so much, all signs pointed to a great progress report!
And I was right... He's always been good with his math and continues to be. Reading, great improvements! His AR score is now sitting at 4.4 (4th month of 4th grade). Awesome! He managed to get at grade level by the time he ended first grade (2.0) so for him to be at 4.4 now is amazing! Spelling he's been doing great on (his teacher said the whole class has been doing good and she is now giving them 3rd grade words to spell).
The biggest surprise, though, came in Citizenship!! Outstanding and good across the board! His teacher tries to focus on Citizenship in the beginning and it really pays dividends. I'm so proud of the work he is doing, a night and day difference this year!
1st Trimester Complete!
