Christmas Program

Nicole sang at her schools Christmas program last night. She did a wonderful job. They sang a Pinata song in English and Spanish. At the end she and the dual language classes sang with the older choir in a medley that included Silent Night in English and Spanish while the older kids sang a song on Peace. It was wonderful.
Brave at School

Nicole brought home a paper the other day marked 85%. She explained that she was supposed to describe ten attributes of owls, but the teacher thought she only had eight. It was a misunderstanding since Nicole counted owls with tufts and owls without tufts as two items (an example). Tina asked Nicole to talk to her teacher and tell her the misunderstanding. Yesterday she was brave and talked to her teacher about it. The teacher write a wonderful note about how brave and mature Nicole was and how well she explained her knowlege of owls and she raised her grade to 100%.
Big Words

The other day before bedtime I pulled out the addition flash cards. I gave Christopher some legos to count out the answers. I gave Nicole the harder cards. She did pretty well but, being tired, got frustrated easily with the harder problems. Finally, she threw back her head and exclaimed "I can't do this without any manipulatives!" Well, at least there's no problem with language.
