Wow...I really need to blog more!!! This one is only 2 months late! This year, Avery starts first grade and Weston will be in third. Although I say this every year, I really don't know where the time has gone. I'm amazed when I look at my kids, backpacks ready and lunch boxes packed, walking away from me. Who do those big kids belong to...surely they are not my babies.
Weston is in Mrs. Schimpf's class. He's part of the Gifted and Talented Program and enjoys attending the Good News Club after school on Wednesdays.
Avery is in Mr. DeLeon's class. This is a Dual Language class where she is taught in both English and Spanish. Student's must test before Kindergarten to be accepted into this program, then requalify each year after that. She also loves the Good News Club...this is a weekly after-school activity sponsored by a local church. I'm really proud of how well they do in school...both are excellent students.
After school, I surprised them with a pencil-shaped brownie...although it didn't turn out exactly the way it looked in the book, it sure tasted good and the kids loved it.
This year is going fast...much faster than I'd like. I'm amazed how much the kids are required to learn...I see their school work as Avery learns about solids, liquids and gases and beginning sentences with a capital and ending with a period. Weston is adding and subtracting three digit numbers and working hard to prepare for the TAKS test. We already miss the lazy days of summer!!!
