Honor Roll


Williams Magnet School has figured out a better way to honor students who make the honor roll. Instead of a boring assembly with a certificate or ribbon and inviting the parents to attend, the kids get to go on an educational field trip. On Tuesday Brian and his honor roll classmates went to the Museum of Discovery as their reward.

I am especially proud of Brian this semester as he was awarded the most improved in his class. We had a bit of a rocky start this year at school. Perhaps it was that everything was new. New school, new teacher, new friends. Change can be difficult, especially for Brian. But he is doing great. He had an awesome report card, he is reading and doing math very well. We don't even have too many struggles over homework.

I think it was a bit of a learning curve for me too. I struggled to learn a new teacher's personality and style which is unlike other teacher's we have had in the past. I think we have all adapted pretty well. Now how many more days until Thanksgiving break?
