An Email from Teacher

Hubby and I have asked that Zeke's teachers keep in touch with us on how he's doing at school.  There are two reasons why I feel this works to our advantage:

1)  It allows us to deal with issues as they come up, therefore making the "nip it in the bud" approach a lot more effective.

2)  It scares the crap out of the kids to know that Mom and Dad know what they're up to at school without us even BEING there!!

Yes, this was planned.  MUAHAHAHAHA!!!  *Makes the "I've got my eyes on you" gesture.*  That's right, big boy.

So anyway, I saw an email pop into my Inbox at work this afternoon from The Teacher.  *Cue big, dramatic movie sound for suspense*  I think I actually gulped.  :-|

But it was good news!  She said that my not-so-little Little Man was doing so much better by way of his classroom conduct.  I positively beamed.  :-D  He is, however, not making much effort in his reading group.  Apparently, though he's in the advanced group, he seems to think he can get by with doing the bare minimum.  In no uncertain terms, she let me know this simply won't fly, and that if it continues, he will be dropped back to the mid-level reading group.

I feel pretty confident that his ego will spur him to put forth more effort.  If he's anything like his Momma, THAT simply won't fly!

Other than that, all is well in his 2nd-grade classroom.  What a relief!

Ugh!  The snow flurries are back.  We were enjoying some 74-degree weather yesterday, and now snow flurries today.  I get that it's mid-January and all, but I was really enjoying the 74 degrees yesterday.  I can't tell if that's sleet, but it's making a pleasant little tinkling sound on the window pane by my desk.  Plus the air flow in here is much colder.  Brrrrr!

Can I whine anymore?  LOL!!

Ok, back to work.  Ciao, Bella!
