School update

Well, it’s official: all four kids have Strep Throat. Anca was the last one to start coming down with it. All of them are on antibiotics and seem to be doing well. Wayde, who was diagnosed first, gets to go back to school tomorrow. Chayce and Sully will have to wait until Thursday.

But the bigger thing I wanted to report on was their school progress. We went to the school open house last week and had a great time listening to the teachers gush over all three kids. Sully’s teacher said he has calmed down in class but takes a long time to get his work done because he is so meticulous. He has been yellow and green on the behavior scale for at least a week.

Chayce’s teacher had great things to say about her, but I was even more pleased with her progress report. Not only did she get all ‘A’s, her reading scores put her at a 4th-6th grade reading level and in the 95th percentile! Very impressive.

Wayde’s teachers were also fun to talk to. Especially her 6th grade reading teacher. Oh, did I mention that she is in the 5th grade? Yeah. After the first two weeks of school they let her and another girl go to one of the sixth grade classes for reading. The teacher said she would like to move her into 7th and 8th grade books during the year.

We are so blessed to have such intelligent kids. What a great night to enjoy our kids.
