Outstanding Student

So we're going on the 4th week of school for Konnor. It's been a great experience for him as he enters EAK. He has been eager to wake up in the morning and go to school. He's excited to tell us about what he learns at school. We can tell he's ready to be challenged because he already knew a lot of the things he has learned in the past week. That doesn't stop him from exceling. His teacher, Mr. Long is happy to have him in his class. Each weekly report has been "Outstanding" with wonderful comments from his teacher.

Even though it's sometimes hard to believe that our boy is such a great listener at school and such an outstanding student, it makes us happy. I guess many kids are "different" at home versus the way they are at school. What a way to make parents PROUD!

First Day of School: Konnor

Oh my! Is it that time already? Konnor started his first day of school today at Pride Academy. Bless his little heart, he was so excited and anxious to begin. We've always known he needed a challenge as he learned things fairly quickly. We were happy to hear that the Santee school district offered EAK (Early Acceptance to Kindergarten). Once we enrolled Konnor he counted down the days.

Although it was a scary feeling for us as parents, Konnor showed nothing but enthusiasm. First day of school was orientation. Parents were able to sit with the students, meet other students and parents, get to know the teacher and the curriculum.

We are excited knowing that Konnor is excited to be starting school. I'll have to get used to my baby boy being gone for half the day, while Kameron and I are home together. But it's great to know that Konnor will be with other kids and learning more. My biggest concern is that he doesn't get "too bored" with pre-school information he'll be relearning at the beginning of the class.
