First day of summer school....

Jazzy in front of the same tree again:) Actually, the first day of school was June 6, 2013, but for some reason, I had it written down on June 5. Get your act together Mommy. We showed up a day early!! Better one day early than one day late. Today was "meet the teachers day". The teachers are brand new teaching graduates. They look like teenagers to me:) Apparently, they are the "cream of the crop" from various schools around the country, and are doing their 5 week teaching internships. I have all of their phone numbers, and they are all non-local. There are 4 teachers and one teacher-supervisor per classroom which is an average of one teacher per 5 kids- which is great! They have individualized tutoring in the morning from 8-9am, then reading and comprehension, lunch, then math. Done by 1:30 and off to skating, swimming, gymnastics, etc. I feel kind of bad that Jasmine is going to summer school when all of the other kids are at swim camp, skating camp, traveling, and other fun stuff, but her grades were very bad this year- so that's the breaks when you goof around in school all year. Their goal is to have each child improve by at least 25% on their test scores in the next 5 weeks. It's only until July 3rd, so we can handle it. I told Jazzy that if she gets all A's and B's this coming year, we can go to San Diego Sea World. She has been bugging me for a year to go to Sea World- so we'll see what happens with that.
