Mom brag stuff
I know most parents are complaining about schools but honestly, I am glad we chose this district to live in. Maybe my standards are a little lower after what schools I went to and the ones the oldest started out in. haha How I made it out of CA knowing my alphabet I will never know. Seriously it wasn't that bad but it wasn't getting better as the years went on.
This year my 3rd grader had to pick an elective! I do not think I KNEW what electives were until middle school. He picked a technology course and he is so darn excited. I am raising the next generation of super geeks we all know it.
He will also be taking a Spanish class! If he continues through 5th grade this he will be good to take another language course in middle school. Here they offer German and Japanese!
My oldest son plays trombone. Yes folks in band geek terms the boy is a "boner" isn't that too flippin' funny?!?!?!?! You know I bet I made fun of band geeks when I was growing up. Now I have my very own to be exceptionaly proud of :) I am just VERY happy they have a music program :) Anyway not only is he in intermediate band but also stage band. He had to be selected and all. I will have to get video up here of their first preformance in Nov. Stage band kick ass. They play jazz and rock etc.
Let me add too that DS#1 is taking algebra for high school credit (he is in 7th grade) and the school was good enough to take him out of PE and put him in his second semester elective instead because of his surgery. Instead of making him sit around because he is on activity restriction due to the surgery and do nothing they changed the schedule.
Let me also look at the fact that somehow I birthed a child, technicaly children, who are exceptional at math. Must be some genetic mutation!
Well that is it on the kid brag/.spew. Ick "kid spew" let's rethink that statement!
