Nine Week Report Cards.

The boys came home with their second nine week report card from their school today and I thought I would give and update.

Lambert:

Lambert comes home every day one the highest behavior setting in his class. For all of the kids in the younger classes they have a seven step behavior chart set in colors. All the kids start the day on 'Wonderful' (White), and they can move up to 'Great' (Green), 'Bravo' (Blue), and Praiseworthy (Purple) or they can move down to 'Yikes' (Yellow), 'Oh-No' (Orange), or 'Rough Day' (Red). Lambert comes home every day on 'Praiseworthy' or just slightly below.

He is having a wonderful year at the Charter school they boys attend. He has a wonderful teacher and all is very well in his school life. He received seven A's and one B (Music). All comments were great.

Maxwell:

Max started the year in a very rough way. The first nine weeks he performed okay in class but his behavior scores were always 'unsatisfactory'. He was suspended once for melting down in class (they call the suspension 'at home recovery') and had many rough days - coming home on 'Oh-No' or below. However, in the second nine weeks things have certainly improved. The suspension scared the dickens out of him (we found out later this behavior was mostly due to strep throat) and he really started to work hard on his behavior.

His second nine report card has 'E's' (or excellent) in every academic category with his teacher saying that he is 'at the top of his class' in every subject. He received a 'Needs Work' in the behavior category - only because of a few days at the beginning of this nine weeks. His teacher is VERY happy with his performance and growth and said he will 'for sure be in the satisfactory category by the time the report card comes out.

All in all things are going very well with the kids and their schooling, we could not be happier.
