School

The boys seem to be doing great in school. Gavin's teacher does not seem to have the quiet and shy Gavin that his previous teachers had. I guess he is feeling quite comfortable at school and with himself or something. LOL He is more vocal, participates more, but does have his moments of shyness. We'll see if he participates at the Lunch Bunch in another week or so. That will be the test! He brought home the class book and he was going through all the kids' names. He would say, "Ke, Ke, Ke" and I would say Connor. Then he would say "De De De" for the sound of the D for the last name. I said his first and last name and Gavin said, "Good job mom. You know 2 more words." LOL Thanks Gavin. He thinks he is teaching me words!!! So, he proceeded to do that for all the names.

Ian hasn't been fighting with us on homework. He does much better at night when Gavin is asleep. I've always done my homework right after school to get it over and done with it, but Ian gets more frustrated with it at that time. So, whatever works! He has his good days and challenging days. Sometimes school is OK and sometimes school is not OK. He writes a lot about his sporting events and he finds books on reptiles and sports right now. Cailean has been able to volunteer every week since the start of school because his day is Thursday. I, on the other hand, haven't and tomorrow will be my first day. FINALLY!!! Between early release days, Teacher Workdays, a training day for me at work...I have yet to get in there! So, I'm looking forward to tomorrow.
