05/07/2001, Monday - School Work, Fractions
(age: 7 years, 2 months, 20 days)
Nicole has been doing extremely well in school. She's been learning some fractions in school, so I thought
I'd quiz her while waiting for some software to install at home. The software had a progress bar that showed percent
complete. When it got to 50% I asked Nicole how much that was in fractions, considering we were counting to 100.
She said 1/2. I thought that was pretty good, so I decided to ask her at 75% what fraction that would be. I didn't
expect her to know, but she answered 3/4. I was quite surprised. She's very bright. She also brought home a 26
lesson cummulative math test on which she got 100%. I'm sure you can't tell that I'm proud.
05/20/2001, Sunday - Incredible Reading
(age: 7 years, 3 months, 3 days)
Nicole is finishing up her first grade year. She is completing with straight A's. They are having a breakfast
for the straight A students this week (fun). Her recent reading evaluation determined that she is reading at the
fourth grade level and needs instruction at the fifth grade level. Just amazing. We are so blessed. Great job,
Nicole!
05/24/2001, Thursday - Awanas
(age: 7 years, 3 months, 7 days)
Nicole's Awanas club has ended for the year as well. We attended Awana Awards night last night. Nicole
