Walker is Mr. Consistency; 94's and 95's in everything. Fifth grade is rolling along just like every other. He really enjoys school and we can only hope this continues.
Garrett is really coming out of his shell this year. Coy and I both went to his conference to thank Mr. Murphy for all he has done for Garrett. Garrett is more confident, a class leader and eager to go to school every day. He got a perfect 100 in language arts and all of his effort grades were E's (excellent). Garrett enjoys helping other kids in his class when they do not understand. Mr. Murphy said he is very competitive and loves gym class.
Then there is Ms. Laine. We were nervous, though they have told us she is a very good girl. Mr. Trah has specific things he must teach in PK4 because it is a state run program (we do not pay for PK4, Florida does). He told us that he has only taught 25% of what he is supposed to, however Laine knows what she needs and is already prepared for kindergarten. She only missed two number/letter recognition questions; the number 9 because a "typed" 9 looks like an upside-down 6 and the letter Y because Mommy taught her it is a "V" with a tail. He also said she is well behaved, a good listener, a class leader and "if he only had a room full kids like Laine he would be all set". Who would have ever thought someone would have wanted a room full of our Laine??????? She has really grown up.
As you can tell I am a very proud Mom and since this is the Ford Family blog I figured it was OK to brag a little.
