Braggin on my baby!
« on: May 15, 2008, 06:34:49 PM »
My youngest (7, in 2nd grade) came in 2nd place out of all the 2nd grade classes today on a subtraction facts thingy.  There are six classes with about 24-27 kids in each class.  Over the past few weeks, they've been doing timed tests, taking the top scores, with the t ime decreasing each week.  Today they took the top 8 and did a "live" test with flashcards in front of the whole 2nd grade.  He came in 2nd...won a couple books and board games.  I'm so proud of him!  Especially since I've never drilled him on anyy math facts (bad mom, I know).

Oh, and his baseball team is still undefeated, and in his game last night he came about 5 feet from hitting a home run!  Not bad for a little squirt!!

Bahahaha, Schade. I said the same thing of my 4th grader and word problems.  :thatsright: How do I get one so concrete thinking that his wires get all crossed and the other freaks out over a basic word problem and a handful of fractions? :thatsright: :lmao:

I'm a dork...I didn't even tell Flame how great her kid is(and he is) for doing so well. Good job, Flame. all of your children seem to really be doing so well and that's a testament not only to their fine disposition and smarts, but to your and your spouse's parenting. :-* :-*

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle
