Savannah had kind of a rough week at the Y this week. She had to take a pre-test for her Calculus class and she didn't do well on it. It shook her confidence. It goes on her grade so she is still bummed about it, but by the time we saw her Friday, she was feeling better about everything and full of stories of people she had met and goings-on in her life. Yay!
Sarah played in tennis matches on Wednesday and Thursday. They won their Wednesday match easily and Sarah was glad as she had to get to work. Thursday, though, they split sets again and had to play all the way through the third to claim their win -- which they did! She and her partner are playing really well. She's keeping up well in school and working her job at Funfinity three days a week. She even still manages to do fun stuff like movie nights with her friends now and then!
Megan played in tennis matches on Wednesday and Thursday, too. This week, she and Alyssa won both times! Yay! I watched her play and her serve is looking really good! Watch out! She is keeping up well in school, too, and I don't think she was even stressed out from school work once this week! (Which has got to be a record. Maybe this high school thing will work out after all?) She started attending Philharmonic and despite of Mr. Tsugawa's dire predictions to the contrary, she kept up with no difficulty. She had a study group Friday night and all the girls went over to the football game afterward. She had a great time.
Mariah had a cross country meet on Friday after school. It was their first home meet this year and their first home meet at their new school! It was pretty cool to go be at her new school with her. She did awesome placing second overall. What a girl! The coach asked her to be the girls' captain. That's a smart coach. Mariah will do great! She's also managing school well. She has math homework everyday put pulls it out before she even sits down when she gets back from CC practice sweaty and tired. She doesn't much like having things hanging over her head so she attacks it right away and gets it done! She's also playing basketball on Saturdays in a 3-on-3 training that Kevin found. According to Kevin, she is doing great there, too!
Cheyenne and Calianne love being in fifth grade. We are supposed to go play tennis twice together during the week but we only got out to the courts once partly due to the rain and partly due to their very busy social life afterschool. They love to be with other girls their age! They're also doing great on the piano and I am super pleased with how good they sound. We had new bunnies show up two weeks ago and they will for sure be our last batch. So, it was especially hard when two of them died this week. We were all very sad but no one took it as hard as Cali and Chey!
Bethany continues to enjoy 1st grade and Chinese immersion. I got to help in class on Wednesday and I was pleased with everything I saw! The participation, the lessons, it all seemed really fun. Beth continues to sing songs for us. She has homework now but hasn't seemed to mind. I hope that lasts!
Benjamin had his second week of Joy School and loved it just as much as his first! He is also doing an online preschool in which he is supposed to participate for at least 15 minutes a day. He's doing really well at that, too. The weather got a tad cooler this week and I decided I needed a light jacket for Ben since most of my others are pink or have butterflies or cats on them. He's thrilled because the jacket I found for him is a transformer jacket that makes him look like Optimus Prime! He wore it for two days straight even though it wasn't cold anymore -- even while doing his school work!
