Casa Sosegad

Alexander is doing super in reading and math. He knows most three and four letter words and knows how to sound out if he sight can’t read something. He can add and subtract and count by 2,5 and 10. He can tell time to the half hour and hour. He’s enjoying school a lot but I must say he’s learned about a few things I rather he wouldn’t like bad poetry and video games. His dad is very particular about them not having any right now but his friends in school all have them and they bring them on the bus to play… Naturally he wants video games now too. On Tuesday, he sneaked a cellphone we’re not using right now to school to show off to the kids in class. The teacher told him not to get it out but I think the lure of impressing his friends was too much. I got a call from his teacher saying he’d brought it in and was showing it around and of course everyone wanted to see! I was very tempted to punish him and he was lucky he was not home then and had soccer practice that day. I did talk to him about it when he got home and asked him if he knew what the rules of school were. I then made him write a note to his teacher apologizing and saying he would not do it again.

He also got his first report card this week. He’s doing very well according to the teacher but a little slow. She called it methodical and I do know about it. He is very careful when he writes trying to stay inside the lines and do it well… that slows him down considerably.
