So Far so Good!

Ben brought home his first four quizes to be signed and sent back. Even with a much tougher grading scale than I ever remember -- you need a 93 or higher for an A, there are no plus/minus grades, and anything 70 or below is failing -- he got 3 As and 1 B. His teacher wrote "Great start to third grade!" in his quiz folder. I promised him $10 for every A on his report card (they switch to letter grades in 3rd grade) and so far he is really motivated I guess! Hopefully he can keep it up! The homework, which was ridiculously light the first couple of weeks, has now picked up. Last night he had four math worksheets, some pages in his science book to read, spelling homework, and he had 3 quizes today (math, spelling, science) that he needed to study for. (None of those are the four mentioned above, so hopefully he did well on those!) He also got a science project assigned which is due next Friday. Keep it up Ben!
