Well, today is the last day of another school year already. I don’t know where the last 9 1/2 months went!
Alyson’s Kindergarten evaluation appeared in the mail today. She is, on average, a year ahead of herself. They evaluated 8 areas and assigned an ‘Estimated Developmental Age’ to each. In three areas, she tested at age 5 (personal skills, language, and gross motor). In three areas, she tested at 5.6 (visual motor, body image, and fine motor). And in two areas, she tested at age 6 (numbers and concepts). Very interesting. The bottom line says, “Alyson is ready for half day kindergarten. She is on probation based on age.” She’s very excited to go to her own school in the fall.
BJ is proud to be officially a 2nd grader. He had a couple of 2s on his report card, mostly accompanied by ‘occasionally’ on the Effort line. He’s starting to rush through work like Christian. He’s still getting 4s in PE 🙂 His teacher made a note that she appreciates the responsibility he took in turning in math assignments this year. Great job, BJ!
UPDATED: Christian’s officially a 5th grader (wow, that sounds weird). While he certainly struggled to turn in assignments, apparently the work he did in class showed significant improvement. Yay!
