Team and Family Math Night

Each quarter at Chance's school there is a Team and Family night each with a different theme. This quarter's theme was Math. We learned about how they are teaching math to the kids, we got to play all the math games (Chance really enjoyed teaching them to us) and we learned the things he will need to know in the future for his next assessment. He is well above where he needs to be. They are expecting the kids to be able to do basic addition and subtraction by the time they finish Kindergarten and Chance is already doing that so, we aren't really worried. Right now our job is to stay engaged and keep him interested without pushing him too hard. In the first quarter they tested all the kids to see how high they could count unassisted. Chance got all the way to 65. He will be tested again on this before the Christmas break, he's sure he will get to 100 because we have started reading the classic I Can Count to 100 Can You? again. I didn't take many pictures but I am so proud of how well Chance is doing in school. He is near the top in all his assessments and his teachers tell us he is a social butterfly with lots of friends which we see every time we visit his class. He is happy about the weekend but still excited to go to school each day and always has lots to say at the end of each day. He get's 5 and 6 stars every day and does his homework early so he doesn't have anything to do later in the week. I couldn't ask for anything better. I know it's just kindergarten and there will be tough school days ahead but if he can keep up with and build on the good school habits he is starting now he will be just fine.
