We started the school year pretty early this year, the third week of August. We got a bit behind last year and I wanted to be on top of things this year. I can't believe you are in 3rd grade already. This year started with a great attitude despite some summer time considerations of going to public school in spite of the bullies and everything.
Your reading has improved in spite of not reading as much as Sofia did at this age. Your spelling, however, is atrocious. That's were the dyslexia really shows up. But you have a good enthusiasm to learn most of the time and you're doing pretty well in all your subjects.

I wish we could do more like Spanish, Piano, and Art, but I needed to keep it realistic so we could enjoy the subjects you have instead of stressing about trying to get them all done.
You do History, Science, and SS Latin with Peter which is a bit of a help. It's kind of re-ignited my own enthusiasm to start some of these subjects with you the way I was excited to do them with Sofia. I spend the most amount of time doing school with you right now, but I'm glad that you're not getting lost in the shuffle. I know, I only have three kids to teach but it's quite the juggling act. I hope you continue to enjoy learning the way you are now and we have a great year.
