Academic Recognition for Gabriel

NOVEMBER 2012
Gabriel has been doing so well in school - just thriving. I know it's only Kindergarten, but it still amazes me how much learning they get into one day with all of those five year olds. Gabriel is kind of the exception to the rule (of a normal 5yr old's attention span), because since he was about three he has always been so eager to learn - to the point that he would actually sit still, and give his full attention for reading or learning letters/numbers from that early age. So, it isn't a surprise that he continues to enjoy and excel in school. Recently, the school did an achievement assembly where they recognized all of their students for excelling in some area of school. It ranged from academics to behavioral, but I really liked that they were recognized for specific growth, and not just a generalized "pat on the back."

Pretty proud of himself.
The award was for outstanding achievement in
reading and math!
