Things have been a little slow this summer. We have added one student since my last post, and he has about five lessons to go until we test him. I'll tell you about him at that point. He is a wonderful student, though!
Our first grader did great! Despite the decision by the school to hold him back in kindergarten for another year, we were able to improve his reading level and confidence enough that he went on to the first grade for the 2010-2011 school year. We are very excited about his progress. Though we did not make quite the gains we wanted, the school was thrilled with his reading and attitude, and testing to ensure readiness for first grade went very well.
Tom, our adult student, had an injury and has not come back to us yet, we expect him back in the next few weeks, and will keep you posted on that.
So, why are things slow this summer? We have a new addition to our family. Our baby girl was born on September 1 and we are beginning to get back into a normal family and work routine after a very long pregnancy, but very easy first few weeks with her. We will be accepting new students after Christmas, with two new tutors on board. We will also be making plans for a Pre-K summer program and hope to assist area families in the transition from preschool to "big-kid school." More about that later!
We grieve the loss of one our favorite tutors, Seana, who has moved away. We hope to have her back with us in the future.
