What they're up to at school...

They had parent teacher conferences at Samantha's and Andrew's school the other day. Everyone is doing really well. Andrew is enjoying art a great deal and is doing well in all his subjects. He seems to especially like science too. However, he claims football is "evil". He told me at lunch that they had an assembly today with 3 guests who were little people, 4' and under, ages 20, 23, and 61. They were talking about themselves and their families and were playing basketball against the gym teachers. They were telling the kids how they manage everyday activities like driving a car. What a great idea! This lets the junior high kids listen to and talk to people who are different from themselves, and realize we are all the same.
Samantha is getting very good marks in all subjects. She just got 100% on her jazz written test! She is enjoying graphic arts so much! Her graphic arts teacher said her work on her current assignment is excellent and at an advanced level.
Bethany is doing well too and is looking forward to being a "sparkle student" one day. That's when she gets to read a book to the class. She can read Green Eggs and Ham all by herself now!
Well, I'm done bragging. More later .......

I am so proud.....

I am so proud of my children; they are doing so well in school. Samantha just had a biology test last week and she got 86%! The highest mark in the class!! Another student got a 78, and the rest all got 60 and below. She said it was a hard test. I am so proud of her! And she is really enjoying dance; they just finished a ballet unit, and now they are about to start jazz. And Andrew has just make a power point slide show about compounds and mixtures. Not for an assignment, just for fun! You can go to my blog, and click on his blog ( the link is correct now ) and there it is. It is cool! I said his science teacher would probably like to see it, and he plans to show her on Tuesday, as she has a computer on her desk. Bethany wasn't feeling well on Friday, and her and I spent mother daughter time in the morning starting an art set that I got with my Sonlight order and had never opened. It teaches about color shading, she is having a blast. Our kitchen wall is now an art gallery! Samantha, Andrew and I have a picture up there, and the rest are Bethany's. She is now noticing shading in everything she sees! And then Cassy is over in Chili, learning and growing! What an experience! I am so proud of you, Cass!! I love to read your blog. I am so glad you are having this time to reflect and think and pray.
God is so good!

Happy Birthday Wendy!
