Melinda back from Gov. School camp, Rockwell back from Switzerland.
I need to link to Melinda’s reading of her poetry she wrote. She received her evaluation today, I’m not sure what it said because she wont show it to meeeee.. :p
Anyway, Rockwell enjoyed his trip. That was about the description of it from a 13yo. But I bet it will inspire some writing this school year. I hope so, because he was put in Honors English, AND Honors Algebra I, where he can take high school credits in 8th grade. Not sure how he got into honors English to be honest… his LA grades were not.. that.. great. 🙂 however, I think the teacher saw something in him. After all, he got this award at the end of the 7th grade year.
Must say, that’s pretty nice.
And in cleaning up, I found this paper from the first day of class last year. His cursive is improving. He might just end up with some really nice handwriting. His use of English and a reasonable vocab. is evident here. You go Rockwell. I love it!
He was not slated for honors algebra.. His standardized test scores were decent.. but his class grades were less than spectacular. 🙂 However, they have a prep course that you can take during the summer. He ended up doing the WHOLE THING in Switzerland. lol. But he did it by himself, and he must have done well, because they put him right in the algebra course without any questions. I like when my boy takes some initiative like that. Good for you Rockwell! I am proud of you and your work.
