Progress Reports and Girl Scout Cookies

Okay, first things first. We do have cookies for sale. I know you all who read this. If you are interested, email me. Glee will be sending out an email later this week to hit you up.

That being said... we got progress reports last week. Thomas needs to work on using his class time in a more appropriate fashion (as in doing his school work instead of amusing his peers). I see a future class clown/most popular funny guy in his future. He can write all of his letters upper and lower case, and all of his numbers, but some of those things are backwards, and that is all due to a minimum amount of attention being paid to what he is doing. We now practice a page of letters and numbers every day along with other homework.

Glee's report was glowing, just as I thought. Her teacher marked that she is working beyond her level. Glee led a group the other day, teaching them about borrowing and carrying over in math. She has told me more than once that she would like to be a teacher someday. She would be a fantastic teacher (and I read today that Dr. Jill Biden, who teaches at a Virginia Community college gets paid somewhere around $1000 per credit hour of teaching. Nice paycheck for a teacher!).

Tomorrow I go in for a meeting to discuss an IEP for Glee for speech. Back in kindergarten we had her assessed for speech because she had serious r and s lisps. Those are mostly gone now, and I am pretty sure this is just a formality to show follow through on the part of the speech teacher. So I will go and see what they have to say.

Otherwise things go. I am knitting a pullover sweater for Thomas. I have finished a lap afghan for Glee and I am finishing a baby blanket for my brother and his girlfriend, due in May. She is having a girl, one more niece to add to the mix!
