Progress Reports are out again.

And I'm not sure how how we are doing. There grading scales are different that what I grew up with...

A: 100-93 B: 92-85 C: 84-77 D: 76-69 Below 69: U

So it makes it harder for me to look at his grades and say he's doing ok. We have some extra work to pull up his language arts grade, so hopefully that will help.

Reading
Student: McCune, Christopher
Student's Grade: 96
Class Average: 93

Social Studies
Student: McCune, Christopher
Student's Grade: 94
Class Average: 87

Science
Student: McCune, Christopher
Student's Grade: 94

Math
Student: McCune, Christopher
Student's Grade: 90
Class Average: 89

Language Arts
Student: McCune, Christopher
Student's Grade: 81
Class Average: 85

So based on his grading scale we will have 3 A's, 1 B and a C.

We are really working hard to improve the Language Arts Grade, and have taken to having "extra" homework. Both that I have found through internet research and that which his teacher has sent home.

Progress Reports are out again.

Other times it gets right by you.....

See what happens when you run to fast???

If your Xander, what happens is that you get a bloody nose inside and out.

He was running to fast at school, and fell flat on his face.

This happened Wednesday, and the picture was taken tonight.

You can tell how bad it was to begin with seeing as what it looks like now right??

Progress Reports AGAIN

seems that at Bells the kids don't get progress reports at the same rate as some of the other schools.

Instead of getting them every 4 weeks, and report cards at the end of th 9 weeks, we get them weekly!!

So while some of his numbers are up, some are down. I've emailed his teacher for help on the language arts group...it's spelling, grammer and writing....now how to help his grade improve??

Progress Reports

So after a month of school, we get our 1st set of progress reports.

It's been an adjustment getting REAL grades, which has made homework a struggle.

AND today he brought home an entire month's worth of graded papers. His teacher had a death in the family and was out an entire week, so she is having to play A LOT of catch-up!!

He's gotten 100% on his reading tests...I guess that would be reading comprehension, but still that's good!!

Language Art is spelling, writing and any grammar rules

I'm so proud of my little bug!!

Christopher and the 2nd grade...

He really likes his teacher, and hates homework :)

This will be the 1st year that we get REAL grades...I am trying to tell him that his homework will count for 60% of his grade.

So far math has been a breeze, it's the spelling that's killing us.

Handwriting counts!! If anyone has ever seen mine or Michael's handwriting they all know he comes by it honestly, but he gets mad and frustrated when he has to redo things cause we can't read them.

Hopefully when progress reports or report cards come out he will see how important it is!!

Soccer is still going great. We got 5 new kids this year, and so far they are working well as a team. We won the first 2 games, and will have a game while Grandma and Grandpa are here.

We are always on the go but it works out good!

Johnathan LOVES K-4

He's getting so big!!

Tells me that he has fun in school, and is all about not getting his name moved!!

They have a behavior chart in his class, and it's a Stop Light. After 3 warnings you go to green, then progress you way up to Red if you can't behave.

He's sooooo proud of the fact that he hasn't had to move his name. Granted it's been 4 days, but I'm being excited with him.

He's a bear to get up in the mornings and doesn't want to go to school, but that will come I hope.

It's hard to believe...

That my baby is going to be 2!!!

Come Sunday Alexander will celebrate his 2nd birthday.

We are looking forward to Grandma and Grandpa coming for a visit, and will have lunch with Nana, PopPop, Tia and the whole gang at my house!!

Things are going well at school.

The first day he cried, but today he seemed to have a good time. Didn't cry when I dropped him off, and was excited to see Tia when she picked him up.

So game 1 was a win...

I was a little nervous cause Christopher wanted to play goalie!!

HE DID AWESOME!! Was quick to get on the ball, and they didn't score!!

Took lots of pictures...

Here mom...

So what happens when you have an extremely loose tooth, and then play a soccer game??

You walk up to your mom and go "Here Mom" without telling her what you are giving her. So I being the mom that I am, just opened up my hand and took whatever he was going to hand to me....

Thanks for the tooth my boy!!

Well here is toothless after the soccer game, and just in time for Fall School pictures next Friday!!
