We're about a month into school, and still a couple weeks away from our fall parent/teacher conferences, but we're just so pleased with how both Margaret and Caroline are doing in school this year that we had to boast a bit. Margaret has shown huge progress in taking on the extra responsibility that comes with 4th grade--she gets her homework done mostly on her own and without complaint, and is doing awesome in all subjects (even her least favorite math). She just finished her first book report --which she got to type on the computer--and is rightly very proud of it. Caroline continues to breeze through the 2nd grade assignments but is beginning to learn what it's like to have a bit of real homework to do each night. You should see the list of challenging spelling words she has each week. She and one other girl are on a separate track for spelling, so instead of words like "over" and "under" she's getting words like "oceanarium" and "characteristics"! She also started her PATS program this week, where she spends 1 day per week at a different school in a class of 8 doing some great advanced & enrichment activities. So far she's LOVING that.
Both girls seem to be enjoying Girl Scouts this year-and are each doing more interesting and exciting activities since they've moved up a level from last year.
Here's a picture of Caroline in her Brownie troop getting ready to make music with water glasses.
