NEW NEW NEW

The boys are finally starting to really adjust at their new school. Dominic is in a mainstream first grade class and really is advancing in his reading. He loves school and is quite fond of his "pretty" blond haired young teacher. He says that she is beautiful. He has made a lot of friends and I get so happy when I see him interact with the other kids. There is not much sign of lacking in social skills there.
Reynaldo was moved back to a Kindergarten class and is progressing finally. When we moved to the new school they had first placed him in a transitional first grade class. After the child study team went over his records they felt it would be beneficial for him to redo Kindergarten because he was lacking a lot of the basic foundational skills that were needed to move forward in first grade. I didn't hesitate on this decision and was quite happy considering I had pushed last year to have him held back and they wouldn't listen to my concerns. He is in a special needs class and they work at his speed. I am very happy with the class thus far. This is not to negate the fact that I am concerned because the aide in the class needs to learn how to spell. I want so much for the boys education and want them to learn to the fullest. I just feel this school is so much better than the last one in so many ways. I am considering looking into Charter schools as they get older. Maybe by then our church will have a school for their grades. The sad fact is that the requirements to get a teaching license is not that stringent.
Kiarrah is an an Abbot Daycare/Preschool. I am not thrilled with it and I am trying to qualify for Aid to send her to our churches preschool where they use the Abeka Curriculum. That is my ideal plan.
The kids all seem to be adjusting well to city living. It is preggo momma here that is having a hard time. I am doing better than I thought but I do miss more open space.
