Chloe You are very smart. You read very well, you have started reading chapter books. You are excellent at math and even have started memorizing multiplication facts (something they do in third grade you are in first) You loved school, your teachers said you were a joy to have in class. You get things very fast and learn easily. We took you all out in December to go to florida for three months due to COVID and are now homeschooling. You can def have an attitude at times and it can be difficiult to get you to do school work when you don't to. You play and fight with both your siblings. You love dogs, stuffed animals. You are a fast runner running a approx 9:30 mile and you like to run with me as long as their is no racing involved. your are very motivated by money and toys. Avery, You are in Kindergarten. After having a lot of trouble teaching you your letters before starting kindergarten i am happy you are making better progress now. You know approx 20-25 out of 40 of your sight words and are beginning to read very simple text. You don't like to sit still for too long. You still love baby dolls. You are mostly easy going and oftn make weston feel better when he temper tantrums. but still fight with siblings at time. Chloe and you both swim well. You alos like to run with me and you are quikcly getting better endurance. Weston: You started preschool this year. Which you said you didn't like but after the first 2 times you went without a fight which was good. You said you didn't like to sit and listen to books at school. You are very active and we just started teaching you how to swim and you have started to swim independenlty a very short distance. You often are whiny still but we are working on it. You know your colors but not all of them yet and you are starting to identify some numbers and letters but are not consisently getting any right yet. You love big machinary and lawn mowers/vacuums still.
