The Latest Happenings

Shane will be going to Kindergarten in the fall. He's so far ahead of that academically, but there is so much more to school and life than academics. There is more than just knowing your letters and counting. We want to make sure that he is ready in all aspects to meet the challenges that he will face... whether in the classroom or outside. Another year of maturity will only be a good thing on all levels. We feel good about that. He will always have 2 caring parents that will be there for him, help him, and guide him. No need to push him off into school so early. And, besides, having my sister by my side with all of her advice and knowledge (she is a kindergarten teacher and guidance councilor), she has been talking to me about all this since Shane was born. It has nothing to do with Shane's lack of anything... as that's not a problem. We just feel good about not pushing him or rushing him into school.

Shane is having a good time at summer school. He's coming home with such wonderful works that he has done throughout the day. I can tell his excitement and focus is so much better. His social development is coming along and has progressed by leaps and bounds from just a year ago. He's able to focus and contribute with distractions going on around him.

His teacher continues to be impressed with his abilities and how helfpul he is. He's ornery and can sometimes have too much fun... Ha! But he's doing so good. I'm very proud of him!
