Awards Ceremony

A new school means trying to figure everything out including how everyone grades. Every three weeks Katelynn gets a progress report that they test them in all the fields and send them the grades home. The first one she brought home all A's the second one I noticed a B in geometry part of Math. When Gary got home, I told him to email the teacher and find out what we could do to get that grade up. Then Gary brought it to my attention everything is 5 questions! 5 questions! You miss one you have a B!! What do I even tell Katelynn? All the grading is like that. It makes it really hard for to get Straight As and really I do not even know how to figure it out. I was hoping it was just this year this teacher, but I found out at the award ceremony this past week that is how is all the way through school here at their school..... GREAT! Luckily the rest of her grades were high enough in Math to pull the one B up to A. So she was able to get a Straight A's award and also award on her attendance(she missed one day).

Now for Aiden! All of the School district use the same report card for kindergarteners so they can't get Straight A, so instead if you knew all your ABC (sounds, lower case, upper letter) and could count to a 100. He was able to get that award and also one for perfect attendance! I would have to say the perfect attendance is the one I am most surprised about. If anyone around us gets sick Aiden usually gets it! So how this year that boy has stayed healthy is beyond my knowledge. But he loves school and even more loves playgroup that comes after!


I had pictures but they are on my phone and have no idea how to download them yet.... Maybe I will have the pose holding their awards or something!
