OH there is so much going on right now. Richmond is pretty much done for me now.. My mom Sold her house and her and Mike bought a new one an hour away. I am truly happy for them.. just sad that her new house will not involve Jason and I. He is moving out into his own place. I am happy for him too... Really non of this has to do w/ me other than I'll help them move and stuff. My mom is flustered cuz it all happened so quickly, the selling of the house and her buying a new one. She also changed Jobs and is now working nights for a while.. Still GM but different plant. When all is said and done she will be very happy and everything happens for a reason.
Keegans Dad told me today that he is finally getting Married this summer..YAY! I am so happy for them. Speaking of Keegan I finally talked to Keegans Teacher today about their lack of testing for reading. He has been showing a late third grade reading level since the middle of First grade and I know he has gone up so I was wondering if they were going to test him this marking period.. Evidently the way the tests are set up there are 2 different tests for reading one is k-2 and the other is 3-5.. and they don't normally test more than a grade ahead especially when they have to switch tests.. But His teacher wants it done for him as well as me So we can get a good idea of where he is So at least I at home can Keep him going. I don't want him to idol for too long. She told me though that is is reading Chapter books for his reading group and that she tries to give him work that is at his level or what she guess his level is. So that is good to know. She also said that he is to the point that he can read Anything put in front of him now. He just wont always understand what he reads if it is beyond his maturity level. She gave me a few suggestions for book for him that will quench his thirst for scary books and still keep him at his maturity level. She Taught 5th grade last year which I think has helped him and her w/ him being advanced. We also talked about their reading log.. I was disappointed that they were not going to do this anymore. Apparently only 5 kids were handing them in every week.. mine included... and she was fighting w/ parents over it...WHAT!!! Parents actually said things like it was not important and it was stupid. No one was making their kids do this. That makes me SO sad. What is wrong w/ these parents. I am busy too but I will have him read while I am doing dishes or whatever.. I also enjoying reading these stories w/ them. I guess she has been having problems w/ parent participation all year. I feel really bad for them kids.. really I do. But I told her that he is going to continue to read every night and I can't worry about other kids and that Keegan was my concern here. She is a good teacher and I think Keegan is benefiting from having her there for him.
Ava was signed up for preschool on Tuesday. I am so sad.. she is my baby and I have no more after her. I like this preschool but it is really strict about volunteering. I am afraid to get sick.. fortunately it will only be once a month. Other than that I love the sound of all they did there. They even Pray before snack!!! They will be taking lots of Field trips too.
Shane and Keegans Karate place is Moving.. out of town :( I could walk there in the summer before but now I am going to have a hard time getting there.. this sux big time. They need the room though so it is not that bad for them and I am happy for them. They owners are wonderful people .. I just hope it does not loose the family feel as they get bigger.
What else? Shane is at a Level E in reading! that is exciting and Awesome. He also is a whizz and Math. I am so Proud of him. I feel bad that he does not stand out to everyone like keegan Does.. but that is just him he has never needed to be the center of attention like Keegan does. He is So cool and his attitude is great and I wish I was more like him. He never begs for kids to play w/ him if they come to him fine but other wise he is perfectly fine being on his own. But he plays great w/ other kids and they all seem to genuinely like him. I love that about him. He is such a goofball too.
I guess that is it... I am doing the school store tomorrow and have Nichole's Baby shower on Sunday.
Have a great Weekend!
