freckles and reading and AR's

I have said before that Mr. Rincon, Zoe's teacher is a no fluff, no frills type of teacher and we love that about him...Zoe has never been a math "kid" ever since first grade...she is terrific at writing and reading and everything else but always struggled with math...Mr. Rincon has gotten her up to speed and says she is ready for sixth grade (yay right???) but saying that they do no art in his class and Zoe was a little jealous that other 5th grade classes were doing mother's day presents...she forgot that I signed her up for a mother's day making class at the museum tomorrow...worked out so perfectly...and I have a little craft time planned for tomorrow night too...

 

 Mr. Rincon and I wereboth proud of Zoe last week...she was doing homework with a friend from another class...this little girl has always been in GATE classes and did not understand her math...Zoe says, "here let me show you how Mr. Rincon does it..." and her friend then understood it completely...I was amazed and so proud of my princess...

so for what she wore...another Hanna Andersson...love it...

TGIF's for dinner (Tim's treat) and then went to Barnes & Noble (like to keep Zoe and Sian up on their reading goals for AR's)...Si loves the Fairy series, and Zoe currently loves the Kingdom Keepers (she met the author and got his signature at D23 last year) and she also loves the Babysitter Club series of books...in 2nd grade Zoe was the highest student for her class level for AR's and this year has met and gone above AR goals...she currently is at 175% of her goal for this trimester...very proud of both of them...want to work this summer on getting Sian's goals up for next year...

love these freckles

Sam's school had Open House tonight and Zozo went with her and just came home and was so excited about her new books..,.I told her she can't touch them tho, cause with these ones, I am currently stocking up for the summer...right now, she can go to the school library and get her books...now, she is disappointed...Tim also started her last time on Tales of the 6th Grade Muppet series and bought her the new one too but it also is for summer...
