Report Cards

Hooray to school age Barney children. They just finished their first quarter which is so funny, because it seems like school just started back-maybe because its still feels like summer here. All three got great report cards. I have to brag about my big guy for a minute...Michael is in fourth grade this year, which happens to be the first year that they use letter grades in our district. When I first heard this, I have to admit I cringed a little. Those O,S+,S they use in grades 1-3, always leave me a bit unsure of the meaning (is this good, or just okay...), but there is no guessing with letter grades. Michael probably wouldn't say that school is easy. He is a little smarty, but he would much rather be home, and playing than studying, reading, etc. This year I have noticed that he has seemed a bit more responsible for getting his papers done at home, knowing when test are, and wanting to well in them, etc. Long story short, Michael got all A's on his report card. I am so excited for him. What a huge confidence booster and payoff for a lot of hard work. We are proud of you Michael!!
