Briahnna got a haircut!

So Bri got a hair cut today! She's been wanting it cut but in all honesty I didn't want it cut. It's not that bad though, her hair grows out quick so I guess it's fine! The ONLY reason I agreed with the cut though is because she sucks at washing and brushing her hair... so I guess the hair cut is punishment? I told her that if she doesn't take care of it then I will let Matt cut it next time!

Progress Reports are in!

Lets see here, I think I will start with Matt since he is the oldest! Here we go!
Math-82(B)
Reading-82(B)
Writing-68(D)
Language Arts-77(C)
Science-84(B)
Social Studies-S (Satisfactory)


I'm guessing that they haven't really done much Social Studies yet cause if they were then I don't get why they don't actually have a letter grade! No teacher comments! (that's always a good sign) No phone calls, no bad reports, no color changes! Matt is really starting out good this year, I'm really hoping that his ADHD is being better controlled now! I have to say, I'm not that disappointed in the grades just because it's only a progress report and school has just started, so we have plenty of time to get those grades up!


Now for Briahnna!
Math-81(B)
Reading-68(D)
Writing-S (satisfactory)
Language Arts-95(A)
Science-96(A)
Social Studies-S(Satisfactory)


Teacher comments: Low test scores in Reading.
I have to say, I'm a little confused about this comment! Briahnna reads ALL THE TIME! Her AR list... 28 books, 19 of those books she scored a 100 on the test, the rest, there was nothing under an 80%. So I'm thinking that since her problem is low test scores, then possibly it's a comprehension or distraction problem. She has had 3 color changes this week, she says it's because she's not staying in her seat. Not to mention she was wrote up on the bus a couple weeks ago for screaming at the bus driver! I was appalled by this, I honestly didn't know what to say when the bus driver called me about it. Bri was getting into trouble instead of Matt this year! I honestly think they switched places!
