Shadd loves school. He really does. He loves a good shortened week though.
We had his conferences last week and he is doing great. He is excelling. He is almost reading past kindergarten and we are continuing reading lessons and home and his ability to sound things out and not give up has improved greatly.
His favorite thing about school is writing. He loves to write his books. He is a whiz at math and we have been gearing up for his timed tests. He knows a ton of sight words and we are mastering the spelling of most of them and a lot of other words.
But most importantly his teacher said he is gaining confidence, speaks up in class and is a leader.
We were both super proud of him.
The latest this week is he is riding the bus home from school. The first day didn't go great as the bus driver had him sit in the front next to someone he didn't know so he was teary when he got in the door but it has gone a lot better now that he gets to sit with his little neighbor buddy.
It was a tough call for me as I it is just another step of independence but it sure saves me the hassle of waking everyone up to see him for an additional 15 minutes or so. I think I will be super thankful in the dead of winter.
