School stuff

Chloe had to write a piece at school recently from the following prompt: "Tell about a time you had trouble getting along with someone."  This is what she wrote (with my corrected spelling and punctuation):

Let me tell you about the worst time EVER!  I hated this certain person.  It [She]  was best friends with my friend!  So we fought over the person that is my friend.  They knew each other since Kindergarten!  This person I hated was in the same class!  And so was the person that is my friend now (Lyric)!  This person I hated was like a bully to me!  I wanted to play with Lyric but we fought.  (I was the one who got to play with Lyric!)  I hated it!

P.S. I am friends with J.C. now.

Love it.

I also wanted to follow up on all my concerns about Isaac and middle school.  We went to Back to School Night the other night and I was sooooooo impressed with his teachers and the curriculum they have this year.  Even if I was so inclined to homeschool, there is no way I could ever re-create what they have going on at that school.  I was BEYOND impressed and my worries were really put to rest.  So that is good!

Isaac also had his first track meet last night.  He ran the 400 meter dash.  That is one time around the track.  He was pretty funny about it--saying things like, "Man, I'm going to be feeling that tomorrow!" after the race. He did a great job!  Next week his event is the hurdles!!

He said he "didn't feel comfortable" wearing his track jersey without a shirt underneath it, and since he went straight from school to the meet, this is what he wore...
