Fall Enrollment

January 1, 2009

We received news today that Alexis' teacher, Mrs. Inga will be adding 1st grade to her curriculum in the fall. I have visited several prospective schools for the pending year in anticipation that Alexis would need to attend another school; since her teacher only teaches up to kindergarten. I will be visiting Cross Lutheran tomorrow, just to check it out and see what it's all about. Who knows, maybe I'll get a "feel good" feeling about this school and decide if this is the school that Alexis should attend next year. However, my heart tells me that another "good" year at the same school with the same teacher will be best for Alexis. You know, baby steps to the 2nd grade, yet encouraging and very positive. Our goal is to set Alexis up for success, nothing but a win, win situation.

One Long Break

January 13, 2009

Although Alexis enjoyed an extended winter break, I see that I have slacked a wee bit on logging new info on her site. The most surprising thing Alexis has accomplished was reading 1000 minutes. This earned her a free book of her choice from her teacher, Mrs. Inga. Mrs. Inga is also toying with the notion of adding a 1st grade to her school. If she decided to do so, we may keep Alexis there an additional year before having to scope out something new. The school Alexis attends has been exactly what she was needing. Something on a smaller scale and lots of one on one with Mrs. Inga. Alexis is improving on her reading skills and is loving learning about math. We discovered that we absolutely love "BOB" books! Londyn will learn to read with them too!
