McKenna is really enjoying 1st grade this year. She seems so much more confident than last year and keeps saying how easy this year is for her. She told us she was going to talk to one of the Kindergarten teachers about letting her come in one day to read to their class and she did! She told us how one of the girls in the class was waving to her as she came in then when she was done the girl went up to her and told her what a great reader she is. McKenna said she never met this girl before. She is up and ready to go every morning, actually has time to eat breakfast! This is a HUGE change from last year! She is preforming very well on her assignments and knows her spelling words.
Her piano lessons is going great! She really enjoys playing and is pickup up on it very quickly.
Bryson is enjoying the year as well, he especially likes his teachers. He is making new friends AND he performed very well on a huge science test he took last week! He was very excited about this. It's been a really tough year for him though, especially in math. He has a lot more homework this year and doesn't necessarily enjoy the extra time it takes to get it done. But he is trying his best and doing well. Bryson has also joined chess club, which he LOVES! He had his first meeting with it last week said he won his first game. This is a great motivator for Bryson and helps to get his mind off school related things, which I believe it's what he really needs right now.
Gavin and I went and had an enjoyable lunch time with them : )
