We have been adorning the house with Halloween garb, and the kids are getting more and more excited about the upcoming sugar fest. They have costumes picked out, and surprisingly again refused my offer to wrap them up in tin foil and send them out as left-overs.
I got an e-mail from my folks today, passing along a note sent to them by one of #1's teachers:
WOW! I am very impressed. #1 got all of the work done and returned
everything to me the first day. This is very unusual for a middle school
student. Thanks for the chocolate. This has all made my day. #1's
current grade in this class is an A! Thanks again and I hope you had a
good vacation. Carol
I am not sure which class of his this is, but I am so proud and thrilled to hear things like this. Again I am regretful that we could not find this level of success here with him, but I am so happy that he is in a place where he can excel.
