Off to 3rd and 5th

Q is loving every minute of 5th grade just like he loved 4th. He comes home every day fired up and oh so chatty about all the things they did. He’s got tons of friends and is thriving academically- both in English and Spanish.

3rd was hard for Isla. She fell behind in Spanish reading and had trouble with all the digital tests. We leaned in hard with tutors and extra reading and math practice which she didn’t love but we got through it. Now, she’s starting to talk about how her teacher wasn’t nice which I don’t think she had the words for last year. This year she has an amazing teacher that is known as being a favorite. I can already see small shifts in her attitude and am really hoping this is the start of a great year for her and a turning point in her thoughts toward school.

Shine on Bigs!!
