The rest are very set in their ways with their programs and don't include their students in the rest of the school. This school is very open to involving the kids and the PE teacher/adaptive PE teacher was our neighbor for a few years so is familiar with . I figure I could fight the good fight with our closer schools but isn't emotionally strong enough for that. Karyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2002 Report Share Posted April 2, 2002 Wow that is great!! my son is just starting to say sentences and he's 6 this month. All kids move at their own pace.. Good job getting into a toddler bed!!! woohoo, growing up! Shar ................... I have to share!! is no longer in a crib. He is in a toddler bed as of 3 nights ago. For the first two nights, he stayed in the bed perfectly. Well...last night was a little different. About 2:30 in the morning he comes into our room. He stands in the doorway and says MOM! (he never just says it...it is a very distinct, deep voiced, loud 'MOM')...I wake up with a start and see his little silhouette in the doorway. My husband is snoring loudly, as usual, and never even hears our little guy. Anyway, I said, " come here, sweetie " . He walks over to my side of the bed, but stays toward the wall and takes the furthest way possible to my bed. I said, " what's wrong " ? and he says... " hear daddy...scared " !!! I am so excited!!!! He has been putting 2-3 word sentences together verbally for a little while, but it is usually things like, " more water please " , " up please " , " want apple juice " , " hear dog " , which we are thrilled about! This morning, he put together the usual 2-3 words, but he was giving me a bigger concept!! He heard his daddy snoring and he was scared!!! can you believe it!?!?! Yea!!!!!!!!

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2002 Report Share Posted June 11, 2002 Hey kent, I was on a class trip with amanda's 5th grade class to DC also! Only we went from NY - a one day trip which took 17 1/2 hours. But we went and had a great time. will be graduating on Friday the 21st. I feel a little bad because we will be coming to WV right after grad - like dashing off without a party or something. so I guess her party will have to be at the suaree! She is also in a 5th grade performance of the 20th century. Her two dance numbers are the charleston and aquarius. I saw a snippet of it today and it is sooooooo cute! Hey is one bright, sensitive, caring kid. Alot like jesse. I always say that our kids have the BEST sibs ever!!!!

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2002 Report Share Posted June 11, 2002 Kudo's Kent to and to you. You have done a magnificent job and so has . You should be proud. I would especially be proud of the tender heart she shows. I can't imagine where she learned it from!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Loree5 Brag Hi! I need to brag about . Hopefully I won't be too obnoxious. A couple of weeks ago, I went with Meg to DC with her 5th grade class. We were walking down the mall towards the sonian Museum of U.S. History. Meg was down to her last $3.00 and was walking behind me. I happened to turn around and saw that Meg had been giving a dollar to each of the homeless people we passed. I wanted to acknowledge her generosity, I gave Meg $6 which she gave away as well. I don't think there are many 11 year olds who would do that. Meg had to do a report on someone famous and chose Harriet Tubman. Meg was talking with Mollie about the book and explained that in addition to being a guide on the underground railroad she was also a nurse and army scout. Meg told how while Harriet Tubman was working as a nurse for the Union army and helping to save the lives of their soldiers when she rode on the army trains they made her ride in the freight cars because of the color of her skin. Meg found this to be very offensive. Meg then started telling Mollie that what she really liked about Harriet Tubman was that not only did she do things which were unheard of for a woman of color at that time, she did things that were unheard of for a woman of any color. Next Meg starts telling Mollie about Harriet Tubman's work with the suffragettes and how a particular famous statement made by Harriet Tubman was made during a conversation with Cady Stanton. Mollie asked meg if she included Harriet Tubman's work with the suffregettes in her report. Meg replied " no that she didn't want to confuse her audience " LOL!!!! The 5th grade banquet (this is Meg's last year at Burlington El.) was last week. won the following awards: Music achievement award, The Cory Staggs Music award (which comes with a $100 check to be used for music lessons), achievement in art, an award for being 1 of 2 students tied for the highest academic achievement in art, a plaque for being one of the 10 students with the highest grade point average in the 5th grade and the President's award for academic achievement (comes with a framed certificate and a letter from GWB) which goes to students which had at least a 3.5 GPA for 4th & 5th grade (Meg had the highest GPA of any student in the 5th grade). I'm just so damn proud of her!! Take Care All! -- A Society should be Judged by how it's members treat the Young, the Old and the Infirmed. B. F.

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 Today I called home from the store to ask a question. Faith answered the phone and said, Daddy is in the bathroom. I told her it's Mommy. She said Mommy is at the store. It took a bit to convince her I was Mommy! The question was for her anyway, so I asked whether she wanted Cinderella invitations for her birthday party or Barbie. She chose Cinderella, I never did have to talk with Daddy! That was her first totally independent phone conversation! DH didn't hear the phone and wasn't sure she had really had a conversation until I got home. ette mom to phone savvy Faith who will be 9 oh-too-soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
