End of the School Year

Wow, I am sooooooooo glad this school year is over with. It has been a stressful one but a little better than last year. I had 1 in elm, another in middle school and then one in high school so it was all different levels.

Ryan, was in 10th grade and I have to say it was better than 9th grade and he did great until the last semster. We even double block his math so maybe possibly his senior year he could go to Wofford and take his math and get a college credit. If you look at his grades this year you would not believe this but Ryan is SMART, he just does not apply himself and he is happy to just get bad. He slept in class, talked, texted and didn't do the class work but passed all the test. Just think what would have happen if he had done the class and homework... But we passed 10th grade and we are on our way to the 11th that he reall has to settle down and get focus. He helped out with the football team this year by doing something in the booth some kind of status thing and he really enjoyed it. He also blossom out and started hanging out with friends he has not done this much since we left Greer. I am making him do the summer reading and we have to go to school next week to figure out his schedule for next year. We just pray for a good 11th grade year.

Stephen, well he did so much better this year than he did last year. We still had some struggleing parts and some inmaturity and just like his brother he does not like classwork or homework so his grades are not where they should be either but he also passes his test cause just like Ryan he is SMART too but does not apply himself. Don't they understand if they did the class work and homework what great grades they would have. Stephen did get to go to City Range for free at the end of the year cause he reach the goal of how many books read by a certain time. The teacher even called to let me know that he had triple it. He is a reader he even got in trouble in other classes for reading instead of doing homework. We did have one teacher that about drove me and him crazy and I truly didn't get her but we survive and next year will be better hopefully. He did chorus all 3 years and made honors for next year (still will not let me hear him sing).. He didn't get to play any sports this year cause of bad choices last year but he is ready for high school and ready to try out for wrestling and whatever else he can. We pray for a great 9th grade year and hopefully some maturity will come but I do hope he will never loose his fun spririt...

Tyler, his first year in real school he was in K5 and I was worry cause we had held him back last year from letting him start school (his b'day is 8/22 and cutoff is 9/1). He had a great year and he blossom out and made great friends. We were truly blesse with a great teacher and would love to have her again next year. He fell in love with a little girl name Macyi and the stories he shared always crack us up. They couldn't tell their teacher they like each other cuase when they said they were bf and gf his teacher told them they were to young so he didn't want her to know.. He has learn to read, do math, he sounds. We are looking forward to a great 1st grade year.

Say a prayer for next year!!!!!!!!!!!
