Mom's Brag

Friday is the end of the first quarter for the boys, so I thought I would post their grades for everyone. Both boys went to school everyday and have zero tardies. Liam beat Lance in behavior by having no bad marks all quarter. Lance got in trouble 4 times during the quarter (usually for talking). Liam doesn't get letter grades of course, but he did well in every area and learned everything he was supposed to. His reading is really improving and he loves to learn. Lance is getting letter grades for the first time now in 5th grade, his grades are as follow.

Language Arts 95% A
Science 97% A+
Social studies 100% A+
Math 91% A-
Physical Education 100% A+
Spanish 96% A
Latin 106% A+
Visual Arts B- (don't ask me how you get a B- in art)
Orchestra 100% A+

I would guess that P.E., Art, and Orchestra is just comprised of coming prepared and participating. He did extra credit work in Latin and he is joining Latin club next quarter after school once a week. Both boys are in chess club after school, but they say Liam is a better player.

Little Artists

The boys and some of their art work. I took a picture of each of them with their favorite art piece of fall quarter. Lance's piece was created last school year and then the teacher saved it and put it in a local art show this fall. He has an award for participation. Liam made hats this fall in kindergarten art class, the one he is modeling is a fish. They also made chicken hats (which was my favorite hat). They have a wonderful art teacher at their school and all of the children love him. We like him also because he has great ideas for projects. We love our school!
