As many of you all know I had to take my 5th grader at of her comfort zone and school. This was such a major decision it had so many factors involved with it. But the main thing she was not able to feel comfortable nor were me and her dad. She was hassled with adult drama that really was unnecessary, but I do not wish to go into that ....... ...no this is a happy post......our girl made honor roll at her new, harder school!!! We thought and even told the new teacher that because of the difference in the schools grading and curriculum she might struggle and get behind at first but I knew what my child was capable of and she proved it right here. The choice we made and the sacrifices to get her back & forth is 100% worth it and I know as a good parent I made a great choice to ensure my child will get a decent education without outside distraction especially from silly im-mature adults and their children.
WAY TO GO JILLYBEAN WE ARE SO PROUD OF YOU!!!!

DeleteGreat news! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteIt really was, Thanks Robin :]
DeleteThat's a pretty impressive achievment. You can tell that she's going to be one of the good ones to pull off grades like that while dealing with a new school and making new friends.
ReplyDeleteShe must have some pretty awesome parents. :)
Yes Ken it was a big thing she went from a school that didn't even give a letter grade to a very hard grading system & she did alot of extra work to get up to their standards I am in awe :]
DeleteHonor roll! That's so exciting! I hope she keeps up her good work!
ReplyDeleteI think she will now, the new school is one of those schools that doesn't allow the kids to teeter & she knows she wants to go to college thats the plus side of her having older siblings one of her brothers is in his senior yr. of college.
DeleteThis is awesome! Not only has she settled in to her new school, but she's worked hard and made the honor roll, now she knows she can accomplish anything if she sets her mind to it! She is her mama's girl for sure! :-)
ReplyDeleteahhh I love you josie thanks for that compliment. She also learned that if you want the grades you have to talk to the teacher & know what is expected and do it, I am so pleased this worked out well for her :]
DeleteWhat a great post! Congratulations to the whole family...education is so much more than it used to be and Jillian is definitely feeling the love from mom and dad....
ReplyDeleteThanks Brenda, education is HUGE and we have made it a priority with our kids at her old school she was the ONLY child in her class that knew what college she was attending or talked about college. I feel grateful for being able to give her the opportunity to make sure she can achieve that goal.
DeleteWonderful that your decision to change schools has been vindicated, and she has settled in so well as to make the Honor Roll!
ReplyDeleteBlessings.
Congratulations to you and your special girl! :) Truly a reflection of her awesome parents and some great teachers. Kudos all around! :)
