I just thought I'd brag real quick about how great the kids are doing in school!
Chloe's loving it and is always so excited to tell me all about it. When I pick her up every day, she comes down the steps, and as soon as she sees me she yells "Maaaaaaama!!" and runs to me with her arms out for a hug. I love it.
She's been doing great on her reading. She's gotten a few awards and rewards for reading at least 20 days per month since school started (free taco and a free little pizza at a couple of restaurants). She also got a book and a certificate for passing off all of her sight words. She is one of only 3 kids in her class who have done that already. We're so proud of her-she's worked really hard and read a lot.
(I have a picture of that, but I can't figure out how to get it off my phone onto the comp).
She's student of the week this week. That's a thing her teacher does with everybody. It's a rotation she does with all the students. She got to color this big poster and we filled out all the spaces (just little facts about her). It'll hang in the classroom all week. She feels special.
Portie loves school too. He has snack every day, but he always makes up something when we ask him what he had. Last Thursday he said he had "mutt-balls" ???huh???
Port-Port's teacher says he's doing awesome with his letters! We've been practicing, and he knows (recognizes) ALL of his letters. They played "alphabet soup" at school, and she said he knew every letter they pulled out. He recognizes when they're lowercase too (he usually gets them wrong, but at least he reccognizes it's a lowercase something, right? haha) He's learning lots of songs too. He sings them for us all the time.
His class decorates turkeys right before Thanksgiving so they won't get eaten. So (surprise!) we did a Buzz turkey. He took it in today (cause was a little behind last week), and he was SO excited about it!!
his buzz "tihkey"
I, on the other hand, am not doing too hot with school. I forget all the time when library/bookday is, I washed Chloe's gloves yesterday and forgot to put them in the dryer (so she didn't have any today and she didn't want to wear socks on her hands instead-go figure that!, and I kept forgetting to do the buzz "tihkey" so it will only get to hang on the wall for 3 days instead of 5.
whoops.
