The girls report cards came home from school yesterday. They are both doing very well in school. Paige received mostly "E's" that means Excellent or exemplary work at the standard....E is what an A would be back in the good ol days. Out of 27 catagories she had 19 E's and 8 M's...M is Meeting grade level expectations....so that would equal a B from the good ol days. For effort in all of the different subjects she received 4's which means "Consistently". Mrs. Heald wrote some very positive comments about Paige. She really enjoys having her in the class and said that she is a great role model for the other students.

Megans first kindergarten report card looks great. She is progressing with her letter sounds and she is doing great with rhyming and recongnizing high-frequency words, such as I,a, see, the, green, blue, black, white, brown, red, yellow, orange, purple, mom, dad, by, and my. She does need some improvement with rocognizing her numbers up to 30. It is funny she can count to 100 but has trouble recognizing numbers past 5. We have been working on that each day. She is making progress, it just seems like she has a hard time remembering the shape of the numbers. I have her trace the numbers with her finger as she is saying them. I also have her write the numbers as she says them too. Maybe that will help her recall the images. Mrs. Gallagher says that Megan is adjusting well to kindergarten and that she is doing well with her patterning skills. She is also doing well in computer class. She received all 4's (consistently) for her work in Art, Music and Physical Education.

The most important thing is that they are both enjoying school and they are being challenged and taught by wonderful teachers
