School Reports

Amanda and Logan both had their school conferences today and both my monkeys are doing GREAT! Logan is getting top marks in reading comprehension, phonics, and grammar. His spelling and handwriting could use some work, but come on... he MY son, you know. That shouldn't surprise anyone. : ) He is following in his daddy's footsteps with all A's in Mathematics and Social Studies and following in my footsteps with all A's in Science. The boy is doing great and is well adjusted especially considering he missed half a year of school last year. His teacher is very smitten with him and loves all the hugs he gives her throughout the day.

Amanda is a star pupil in preschool. She recognises all her letters (uppercase and lowercase) and knows all the sounds they make. She's starting to read a few words and is a very sociable little girl. She gets along well with others and is very independent in the class room. Even though her fine motor skills are highly developed, she's not interested in taking the time to write her letters carefully (sloppily is a better description) and has NO interest in coloring (or staying in the lines). Just scribble and go for our girl... again, no surprise there (right Mom?) She CAN do it, just chooses not to. Her teacher did tell me that she can't sit still... EVER. But she's listening and learning, just wiggling while she does so. This is no surprise to me. The girl can't even hold still in her sleep! But her teacher still wishes she had more little girls like Amanda in her class.

We had a pizza party and movie fest tonight to celebrate their great accomplishments at school. Way to go you two!
