Jakie "The Math King"


That's what his teacher had called him and put on his award. He told me he had to get up in class or something and recite his last math work page, he told me afterwards he was suppose to study at home and he had forgotten. Anyway he was soo excited when he got home. He was the first in his class to finish the 1st booklet and so far the only one in his class to finish.. Now it's on to the fun stuff.. When he left Janis's class he was adding subtracting double digits and learning the basics of multiplying.. She gets all the credit. She was good so with her students.
As for reading he is finding such joy in reading now. He read to the neighbor boy who's 2years old last week and loves to read to dad on the phone. Dax was so excited to hear him read so fluently. I kept saying it will take off just a matter of time, just like most kids. Anyway he's had a pretty good year so far and he's loving being in a big school this year.. The pumpkin was a craft he made last Friday(at the neighbor/friends house) while me and Tanner were out for the evening. It's a pumpkin cat....

Math has been rally a stron gsubject for almost all of my kids - I love it when it clicks with them and they just get it! As for the reading isn't that just the most exciting thing to hear them say the printed word - whole new worlds open up for them! I just love it!
