Angie and Gabe's School Days-October

10-24-06 Angie received a letter from the school yesterday. When David picked her up, she told him that she had good news. She told him that she was Citizen of the Week. Well, we did get good news, no, she's not Citizen of the Week, but she is Citizen of the MONTH!! =) WOOHOO! She was so happy.

10-19-06 Gabe is in Math Marvels I at school! He took the test and missed 1. I'm not sure how many are on the test, but still, he did good! Also, he had a landform test last Friday and got a 98! He got 2 points taken off for misspelling Asia (he spelled it Aisa). He had a test last Thursday on matter. He did ok, he got a 73. I told him that just means that he has to study harder on that stuff. Oh, and he is Student of the Week for this week! I think Angie should be getting her report card this week. I can't believe it's already mid-October!

10-12-06 Gabe has done his very 1st project. He had to make up his own continent. On his continent he had to have at least 5 out of 9 landforms. He had almost all of them. The name of his continent is Rollrer (how he spelled it) Coaster. His mountains are Force Mountains, the hills are North Hills, the lake is Lake Wilmington, the river is California River, the islands are Gonzalez Islands, and the ocean is North America Ocean. He had fun doing his project. His teacher gave him a 100 on it! Angie should be getting her report card this week, so we will see how she is doing in school. Tomorrow they both are going on a field trip. Angie is going to Crow's Nest Farms, and Gabe is going to Inner Space Caverns and the Candle Factory in Georgetown. I wish I could go with both but wont be able to. I have to work, and didnt think it would be fair to go with one and not the other. But I'm sure they will have fun anyway!

Should I or shouldn't I............

I am thinking about going on for the Full RT program. I will only be limited when I am done in March/July. Of course it won’t happen right away. I would have to apply first and get accepted. Having what I am currently doing would help me get in. There are several colleges I am looking into. Before I apply I would have to see what basics and prereqs I would need. And from the time I apply, to the time I get accepted, to the time I actually start, I would complete those.

Here is a list of the schools and their websites in no particular order:

The 1st program is through Galveston College, but the classes are taken at the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) in Galveston.

I know most are in California, but that's what I found.

Angie and Gabe's School Days-August & September

9-29-06 Yesterday Gabriel got his 1st report card for the year. He did AWESOME!!! He got all A's! His overall average is a 93. Here is a breakdown of his grades: Language Arts-95; Social Stuides-93; Math-93; Science-91. David and I are SOOO proud of him! Angie won't get hers for about another 2 weeks.

On Thursday we had parent-teacher conferences. Here's how the kiddos are doing: Gabriel-his teacher didn't have much to say, except that he is doing very well. He is doing everything he is supposed to. By the end of 2nd grade his reading level should be a 70. Currently his reading level is a 140!!! Yup, that's right! He is WAY above what he should be! He's doing really well in Math, Science, and Spelling as well. As you can see from his grades on his 1st report card. Angie-her teacher just praised her and said she enjoys having her in her class. She knows ALL her letters, colors, numbers, letter sounds, and the difference between upper and lower case. She is just a lil shy. As most of you all know, Angie is shy when she is around people she doesn't know. But she is opening up! Both my babies are doing AWESOME in school this year. I am sooooo proud of them! =)

9-20-06 Last week Angie was Citizen of the Week for her class, so on Monday of last week, I went and had lunch with her and last Thursday David and I went and had lunch with her. And on Friday, her Grandpa, my dad, went and had lunch with her. She was so excited! All week she even got to wear a tiara! She loved it! Gabriel took his 2nd spelling test of the school year last Friday and got a 104! He got a 100 on the test and got the 4 bonus spelling words right! That boy is SOOOOO smart! The end of the 1st 6 weeks is this Friday. I think Report Cards go out next week. Lets see how he does. I'm sure he is doing EXCELLENT!!!!

9-7-06 So school is going great for the kiddos! They are enjoying it SOOOO much. Angie is learning to try all kinds of other foods, other than chicken nuggets. She's also enjoying working on her homework. Gabe took his VERY 1st Science test on Thursday, August 31st and got a 100! And he took his 1st Spelling test for this year on Friday the 1st and got a 99! He is doing really good and always has his homework done before I get home from work. Part of his homework every night is to read for 15-20 mins and sometimes he reads to Angie. They are both doing really well in school. I picked them up for the first time on Tuesday, the 5th, and they both look so grown up with their classmates and friends.....*tear*....I have no more babies......But, on the upside, I am so glad they are doing really well in a new school with new people.

8-15-06 Ok, so I got the kiddos off to school this morning. YEA!!!!!!!! They were so excited! This year they are at a different school since we moved. At first I wasn't sure how Angie was going to react. She's in kinder this year and is going ALL day and is going to a different school. Last year she was in Pre-K and only went half a day, so this is big for her. Her teacher seems nice and they even have a pet bunny named Cleo and 4 hermit crabs. She's really looking forward to making new friends and learning. Gabriel's teacher seems nice and I hope she can keep up with him! He's also looking forward to making new friends and learning!
