Rising Stars

Colt and Savannah were among the students honored at Mt. Spurr Elementary this month as being a "Rising Star". They just started back to public school in January, so they were both tickled to be picked. Savannah was honored for her creative writing and her ability to learn new math concepts. Colt was honored for being able to put on his snow gear in less than 5 minutes! Funny, huh? When we first met with Colt's teacher, she said that he seemed to be on target with everything he needs to know for Kindergarten standards and the only thing she could suggest working on was trying to get his snow gear on faster. And, honestly, we HAD to work on this at home. Colt didn't really like going outside a lot in the snow before and when he did, he had his dear sweet mother to get everything on, so it took some practice. Chance's class had been learning a different type of poetry, so he participated in the program along with some of his classmates by reciting poems. All of the kids are doing great in school so far, they're first progress reports showed all O's (Outstanding) and 1 S+ for Savannah and straight A's for Chance. The older ones still miss homeschooling, but Colt wouldn't trade public school for anything!
