A+ You’re a Star

Did you know when you have kids and they get tested, or graded, for any reason it is like you yourself are being tested or graded? Right when you think you are past all that stuff, you have kids, then you have 5 years or less until you are back in the loop of grades, test, and SATS.  Well, I got lucky…. I hate to brag but my kids are smartys. They don’t get it from me, so I can’t take to much credit, but I know I really have to enjoy the fact Keegan gets excited about the SATS because it probably won’t last forever.

see all those E’s? Those stand for Excellent. The OL, & S are good too.

I just had my first conference for Tate and I have to say, I was kind of nervous…He just isn’t the same child Keegan is. And let me say, when I compare their differences it is never intended in a negative way. One of my top joys and most thankful prayers come from my children’s individuality. I could not handle two of a kind. I guess God knew that.  Tate is smart and gifted in other areas. My main concern was his confidence level with academics particularly, recognizing letters or writing his name. Not because I was concerned he would be behind but more so wanting him to feel he can do anything he puts his mind to.  At home he was acting like he was scared to answer for fear of getting it wrong.

That’s all A’s for Tate who calls himself “Tater Totter Too” at school
I got to the conference and was pleasantly surprised. Right on track 100% So all those little confused faces and excuses about not knowing how to write his name was a front. What a little player! Tate Kuhn!  He did say , “this was a lot of work”, in regards to one page of work he had to complete. What can I say, the boy like to play. And I guess I can blame them for that. Another tidbit, looks like a have another left-handed student. I give both boys an A+ I’m a proud momma.
