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 .......
