**Warning this is a bragging blog post** hehehe
This week was 'Report Card Week'
We are so proud of Christopher, because not only did he have a TERRIFIC report card...he came home with a note stating that he was chosen as the school's student of the week. We were so impressed with that letter because for a second I thought it said "class student of the week" then I realized it was "school's student"...my first response was "Wow...how???" hahaha
His name was on the school's marquee...and you know me, I just had to snap a pic or two of Christopher next to it. And when I walked him to class (yes I was my son to class sometimes) I saw that there was a bulletin board dedicated to the "student of the week" at the entrance so I had to take a couple of pics of him :)
What's the big deal about Kindergarten report cards???
Well, at the beginning of the school year and during the firs parent teacher orientation the parents were told that we shouldn't expect much at this time. The grades are from 1-4 (4 masters concept on his own; 1 doesn't understand or grasped the concept...something like that). The teacher told us that Kindergarten kids will normally/usually receive 1s and 2s...until their last report card where they have learned everything and will receive 3s and 4s.
So knowing that, I honestly expected to see 1-2 on his first report card...but instead I saw mostly 3-4s. There was maybe around 10-15 graded criteria and Christopher received two 2s and the rest 3-4s. And at our first parent teacher conference his teacher told us how much she enjoys Christopher in his class and that he was a smart cookie...and doing an exceptional job. I almost started tearing up when she told me all that. It makes me so happy that his first year of school and that he's doing good.
Ok enough braggin' about Christopher....well, I warned you :)
