Kids school update

Cadence has become a math nerd! She diligently learned her multiplication table and is very into algebra (like her mom!). She has become so much more confident. She has made a lot of friends and seems very happy in school. Here is G-daddy fulfilling his dream of helping Cadence with her homework.

Blake is learning so much! He’s mastered identifying his letters. It seems to be at such a fast pace. He is getting additional reading support because he’s behind the benchmarks. Mrs. Shaw isn’t worried. We try and practice his letters daily. 

They both really enjoy school! I’m amazed by the support they have. Even Cadence has an aide in their class. It’s nice that Blake is getting additional assistance as well. 

School is cool!

The school year seems to be going very well. Blake woke up on Saturday hoping to go to school. I’ve noticed that he does not want to be on his iPad and wants to have activities to do. He showed Cadence a new breathing technique he learned in school to calm himself down. He used it and then apologize to Cadence for being mean to her.

Cadence hasn’t done as well on her math as she would like so she has been practicing on her own accord! #growthmentality

Blake starts kindergarten!

Blake has entered kindergarten at Boulevard. His teacher is Mrs. Elizabeth Shaw. She seems so great! Giselle loves her.

We had an orientation Tuesday afternoon. He looked completely overwhelmed.

Wednesday was his first day of school. We all dropped him off and he sob cried! So heartbreaking. Mrs. Shaw led him away & texted photos. She said once he saw the Lego model of the school he was happy. She said he wasn’t much into coloring & needed assistance with holding the pencil.

The next day, Blake was super excited to ride the bus with Cadence. I asked Cadence to ride with him, help him ease in & she total ditched him to sit with her friends. I get it but he looked so sad! 

Now they have assigned seats on the bus and I guess Blake talks to a girl on the bus. 

They both seem happy and excited with school. So grateful it’s working out! It’s made such a difference for me in terms of peace of mind. I get some time at home alone which I’ve needed to quiet myself. It’s been a very long time!
