School Bios



Joseph has started out the school year very normal. It took three weeks before the first phone call from the principal. And both boys have already gotten bus slips sent home for fighting in the aisle.
Joseph's second grade teacher is Mrs. Sharp. We really like her. So far she says Joseph is doing really well.
Joseph is racking up a lot of AR points (they read a book, take a test and get points based on how many questions they get right).





Patrick has had a little slower start this year. Still not sure what is going on. He is having problems with the AR tests. Last year he read over 125 books and this year he can hardly pass a test. I have called the school twice and even went up there. So now every night both boys have to read.
Patrick's second grade teacher is Mrs. Tatum. Not real sure about her yet. She didn't even know he was having trouble with the AR tests. Not sure she really knows what is going on in the classroom. So we will be vigilant about his academics this year. We have reconsidered again about sending the boys to another school.
