Not much has been going on this past week. The kids were off school all week due to Presidents Day, two teacher in-services and two days of parent/teacher conferences. Austin and Amanda took turns going to work with Aaron all week. They love to go with him and spend one-on-one time with him. Aaron loves it too. He enjoys seeing how different each kid is when they're on their own rather than in their pecking order. Lauren thinks going to work is "boring" but she does sometimes like to hang out at the shop with him.
We had our parent/teacher conferences on Wednesday and they went really well. Lauren is expected to be at a "level 8" in reading but she's at "level 14"! Not bad. Her teacher also says she has perfect penmanship, which is a first in our family. Amanda is doing great, she received almost all "oustandings" on her report card. Austin had a little bit of a rocky start in the beginning of the year but now has almost all A's and is on the honor roll. I'm so proud of them for working hard and having the desire to do well.

Hooray for good report cards! Do you do any kind of reward system for good grades? I was thinking about if we should do this or not and ultimately decided against it...for right now. Things may change in the future. (?)
No, we haven't used any kind of reward system. I just stress the importance of doing and they seem to rise to the expectation.
...doing WELL, I meant to say!
That's great. I think it's important for the kids to learn that education is FOR THEIR BENEFIT! And they will be rewarded in life if they succeed in school.
You're a great mom Kasey.
Its wonderful to hear the kids are doing so well! Steven and I didn't grow up with a reward system either-the praise we received from our parents and other family members was our reward!
