Caleb's First Progress Report!


His first progress report from school.
Here's a few excerpts from it.
Letter Naming Fluency: Caleb was given a page with letters and asked to name each one. This measure helps tell us if Caleb is likely to struggle or be a successful reader in the future. Caleb's score of 51 correct letters named in 1 minute is well above the score of 8 that is expected at this time of year.


Initial Sound Fluency: Caleb was shown a page of pictures and told the name of each picture. ( Examples: dog, bicycle, house, tree). Caleb was asked to point or name the picture that begins with a certain sound. He was also asked to tell the beginning sound in a number of words. For example, we might ask Caleb to say the first sound in the word " fan." This test tells us if Caleb is aware of the different sounds in words. This is called phonemic awareness. Caleb's score of 23 initial sounds in a minute is well above the score of 8 that is expected at this time of year.



Woo Hoo!!! Go Caleb!!!!

Life with 2 dogs.....

Just be glad you can't hear it too...... LOL




Don't worry.. No puppies were harmed in the filming of this. LOL

Brotherly Love and a small injury....

OK y'all have got to see this. I had started off taping the boys because I was so impressed with how sweet they were being. Rhys was trying to ride Caleb's old bike and Caleb was "helping" him. Super sweet stuff... really!! Caleb is going to make a great Daddy one day!

You know that old saying, It's all fun and games until someone gets hurt..... and then it's hilarious. Well, that may not exactly be true.

Take a look for yourself.







Rhys is fine and sporting 2 very cool band-aids now so he's a happy camper.

Silly Sock Day!

Caleb has silly sock day tomorrow so of course we were creating silly socks at 8:30 the night before. I try to teach procrastinating early.. LOL

The boys had a blast with this! I decorated one sock and both boys shared the other. They didn't argue once! As if that wasn't enough... they even helped each other! These boys are so much fun!!!




Yay for Silly Sock Day!
