Clearly Michael's teacher is having a hard time adjusting to the new grade method also. :-)

These are the teacher comments from the first three quarters...

Samuel-

1-Sam is a creative, multi-talented young man. He is adjusting well to LCCS and easily make friends. 2-Sam is innovative and social. He is encouraged to double check his work to reflect his true abilities. 3-Sam is a deep thinker. He would benefit from double checking and organizing his work.

Michael-

1- Michael does very well with addition facts. He is a very considerate person in the classroom. 2- Michael is quick to volunteer to help with things around the classroom. Thank you Michael. Michael does not always have his homework done on time. 3- Good job on the Science Fair project!!!

Okay let me just say a few things here...

First, Samuel is always gonna turn his work in without double checking it, that is his nature. He is unorganized and scatterbrained....show me a gifted kid who isn't! But, he really should organize his work better, especially his writing...he is such a creative writer.

Second, Michael will always volunteer to help so he can get out of actual school work. We held this child back to catch up, not change trashes and dust erasers! :) I love him anyway, even though he isn't fond of school work...he is strictly there so socialize.

All in all the kiddos did very well and I am proud of them. They have officially earned all of their stuff back! They were grounded from the computer and Wii until grades were brought up. They started slacking half way through this quarter and we had to get mean! Grrr. :)

Okay, that is more than anyone wants to know about my kids....I am off to bed now!
