Catching up!

This post is kind of a hodgepodge of things. I have not posted here for a while so I am just catching up. Halloween went really well! Patricia and her friend Kathy went trick-or-treating together. Kathy's mom brought a cart on wheels on the outing so the girls kept dumping their candy bags into the cart and going back for more. Both girls came away with soooo much candy! We still have a full bowl on the counter.




School is going very well for Patricia. She is excelling in math. Fractions and algebra seem to be her thing. Other students are seeking her assistance in class. She still has a lot of homework each night, but she continues to happily plug away at it. Her current independent reading book is Letters to a Little Sister by Harper Hill. She had to pick a non-fiction book for an oral report this time. This will be only her second oral presentation. She did very well on her first one. Her first oral report was on Barack Obama. She was assigned to build a campaign poster and give an oral presentation on her favorite candidate. She did very well on this assignment. She chose then Senator Obama on her own after watching the presidential debates. She and I made a button for her to wear on the day she gave her speech. I have posted her poster and her grading sheet. 98% on that one. She was very proud of herself. So were we, we sent her an Edible Arrangement.








First term grades...
