And it feels like the very first time

Jack brought home his 'first good citizen test' today - they are doing a round of assessments before diving into groups. He got 100%....
and it looks like he had a little extra time to draw some scenarios: the teacher giving a student two "Jimmys" (thumbs up to non-parrotheads) on the left, and one student is saying 'blahblahblah' while the teacher is telling the class that she has the best first grade class.
Nice way to start, little man!
Harry took his AR quiz this morning, only scoring 2/5 possible - not bad, considering it was a long 4th grade book and he was so excited, but I'm recommending that he work on some easier books until he gets better at taking the quizzes....hate to work that hard and not have it count - he can't re-take the quiz since it gives him the option of finding out the correct answers. We're still working on him remembering what he misses so he can learn from his mistakes ;-)
He was excited to get to write his homework assignment in his agenda. These cool books are based on Coach Wooden's strategies for success, and he's loved reading them but hasn't really 'used' the pages until today :-)

and he did....
There are 25, but I must have copied it down wrong ... he reminded me that he already got 100% and doesn't have to take the test anyway, and I reminded him that he needs to practice writing - it's gonna be a fun year ;-)

A couple of the activities he completed today - the drawing was done during library time, and the graphing was during math. So far, he seems to be enjoying it all!

Wow, I can't believe the boys are writing and taking tests and everything!! Weren't they just learning their letters last week? Time flies.
