I love these 3 kids. So Much. And I love sending them to school. The teacher in me wishes that some things were done differently while they are there (in the non-hicap classes especially). But they all 3 love school and are thriving there.

| Ben is a pretty popular little guy. A mom of one of his friends said that at Parent Teacher conferences her son said that Ben was his special friend in response to a question from the teacher. The mom told the teacher that her son really loves Ben. The teacher told them mom, "All the kids have said Ben is their special friend." It is a talent. He makes people feel loved and happy. He told his teacher that his nickname is "Benny Wenny." So, the kids call him that. It is so cute! |

| This lady just finished her first school race! She was in running club and competed in the 1/2 mile. She was the 3rd place girl (I think, I couldn't keep track, but that's what Derek saw). School pictures were on her first day of running club. She was sure she'd need retakes, but they look pretty good. She has finally earned her "self-manager" badge this year. (Maybe due to a bit of begging on her part.) She seems to be enjoying lots of things about this year, except for the way her teacher calls on kids who don't know the answer and then makes everyone wait and wait (her description). We let her tell her teacher how it was frustrating her at PT conferences and they brainstormed some solutions. So far no friend drama this year (whew)! |

| Sarah is loving school. She has a great teacher this year again. The Highly Capable program is just perfect for Sarah. She is challenged and energized academically. Luckily she is in an easier spelling group this year because we almost never remember to study and she still gets 100%. She is doing so well with piano too. She is good at putting her head down and going to work. |
Being a mom is hard work, but I love it. Most of the time.
