OK…so maybe it is a little early to be talking about second grade…BUT, we only have 3 more months of school! We had Max’s parent/teacher conference on Thursday. He is doing great. The improvements he is showing are amazing. At the beginning of the year he came in reading on a ‘level 4′. Now he is reading at a 10/12. The goal is to have him at a 16 by the end of the year. I know he can do it. As his teacher said, ‘the lights have come on’. He is still exhibiting some very ‘boy’ traits, but it looks like he will be going on to second grade. We are so very, very proud of Max. He LOVES to write and pays very close attention to his penmanship.

Speaking of Max, the poor little guy doesn’t feel so well tonight. He started complaining of a sore throat yesterday, but no other symptoms. He did fine all day today until late this afternoon when he started running a temp and saying his head hurt. Jamie ran him to the AM/PM clinic and although his strep test came back negative, they still prescribed him a round of antibiotics. He is pretty bummed about missing school tomorrow. Zeke’s speech teacher called to say that she is not feeling well, so no speech for him tomorrow. Looks like a pajama day at the Russell house. It’s about time…we were having withdrawals from all the snow days!
