Howdy all,
A whole lot has happened since the beginning of fall so I'm going to make this a rather large summary post of the last 3 months.
School
Both boys are doing very well in school and enjoying their teachers and school community.
Riley brought home his first perfect report card and was so proud. His teachers and friends think that he is a little gem in class, very helpful, creative and funny. Crafts seem to be still a favorite for him and his drawing has really come along. Mrs. Lloyd taught Aidan last year and commented on how well both boys draw and color. Math is also coming along very well and has started working on Addition. We were in the truck last week and as I was having some math fun with Aidan, Riley started to answer the questions too. Might have another little engineer on our hands!
Aidan loves his classroom and his teacher. Mr. Prescott has a hedgehog in his class and lives on a ranch with horses and dogs so you can see the connection. Reading is still taking off for A.J and is now eating up chapter books and his speed and comprehension has improved. No issues in math at this point but he defiantly has to work at this and it doesn't come to him as easy as reading and Art. The one issue we have had with Aidan is his lack of focus and interrupting/disrupting the class room, in fact he has the same problem in Hockey and at home so we have really been working on helping him with this. It's very apparent in his writing as last year it was waaaay neater and not so rushed.
I've been spending much more time at the school this year as well. I am Vice Chair of Parents Council and have volunteered to be the coordinator for a new Playground project, which is super exciting but a ton of work. We are really feeling like we are part of the school community and getting to know so many parents and teachers.
