Singing at School

09.20.2009

The boys sang this morning at their school.  Please excuse my bad picture, the lighting was horrible and I didn't want to play around with my camera too much because I wanted to see them sing.  They both did a fantastic job.  They have both adjusted well to their new classes. Carter has made huge progress with his handwriting skills and in such a short amount of time.  He is working on sight words and is currently studying the "AT" family.  He can read basic words such as cat, sat, pat, rat, fat, etc from this family.   He is struggling a little bit with Pre K because they only have a 30 minute rest time.  Which can make for some fun challenging evenings.  We are learning to start bedtime earlier and to absolutely  be home by seven.  No late night errands unless you don't mind a meltdown by a very tired 4 year old.  Alex is loving Kindergarten and is doing well.  He has homework each night which consists of practicing his memory verse, reading atleast 10 minutes and we do some basic number sense concepts together.  He is currently reading grade level 2 books and taking AR tests.  He has earned 100% on every test so far and is very proud of his accomplishments.  He loves to read.  I let him read at night and usually there is a bit of whining when I tell him it is lights out.  ;)  Fun stuff. 

Here they are singing

When we got home,  I realized they were dressed too cutely to let this photo opportunity pass us by.  They were really not that cooperative.......  but I got a few good shots.
