First quarter is over..........

A couple of things here are that my child is now 30, so left school a long time ago. Also the real reason I responded was to say that whilst your children are just beginning their school year, here in Australia it is the end of the school year. All schools will finish for the year about a week before Christmas and then not return for the next year till the last week of January or first week of February. :)

I live in Australia. Here school is in final quarter with about 3 weeks to go.

I just found out my almost 6 yr old is reading at a 13 year old level so I am thrilled, Her older sister is following in her foot steps. Still not sure how that happened. But not complaining

average.but i am concerned

I will be going back to college in January. I like your pic though!! (necklace found at www.youravon.com/ahudson )

Good! Not my kid but she is doing real good!

We are on the 2nd quarter here. I am very grateful. My son got Principals Honor roll for the 1st Qtr (all A's) and looks like he is going to do the same for 2nd Qtr. I am very proud!

My kid is halfway through her second term (quarter)...but she doesn't get letter grades..she is a special education student they get percentages towards the goals they are working on...so for her anything over 85% would be equal to an A..at that rate the feel she has mastered that goal to the best of her ability. Some goals do take her longer than others...but all I care about is the effort she puts into not the outcome. If she tries her best I am satisfied.. I thnk it should be that way for all children..be proud of them no matter what the grade as long as the put their best foot forward and worked hard.
