It was report card time again yesterday and although the 2nd nine weeks weren’t nearly as good as the 1st nine weeks he still did really well. His 1st semester averages are as follows:

ELA – 93%
Social Studies – 95%
Math – 99%
Science 98%

I can’t complain at all. That’s really good. He also got an “E” in both P.E and Music. Those classes aren’t graded on a percentage or number scale. Anyway, I had mentioned in an earlier post that I thought he wasn’t doing too well in math, but I guess I was wrong. I also don’t take into consideration that the teacher gives him harder homework than she does the other kids in his class so when I see him having a little difficulty I fail to realize that the teacher is actually challenging him.

He’s also been reading nightly and almost finished with his book he’s been reading. Yay!

I gave in and ended up helping him clean his room because he wasn’t doing it and I couldn’t stand it any longer. I haven’t given him back his computer yet, though. I told him he had to keep his room clean for awhile before I would consider doing so. I gave him a few rules about the bedroom, like picking up his toys before he goes to bed and making sure there isn’t any other mess left. I was pleasantly surprised that the past couple of nights he’s actually picked up after himself before he went to bed. Again, Yay!

He’s a good boy for the most part, but I guess he’s like any other kid. You give an inch and they end up trying to squeeze a couple of miles out of you.

Math Tutoring

Although I am grateful that my child excels in school and especially in math and science (his goal is to become a scientist), there are alot of children who are not doing so well in school. Some children require a little bit of extra attention or perhaps they are just a little slower at getting exactly what the teacher is trying to show them and they require more one-on-one attention than their teacher can afford to give them without taking away from the rest of the class. If your child is having problems in math, consider a Math Tutor that can come into your home, where the child is more likely to feel comfortable, and give them the individual attention he or she may need to help them succeed in school. Club Z! offers one-on-one tutoring on academic subjects like reading, writing and English as well as math, science and foreign languages. If your child has learning disabilities or needs speech therapy, instruction is also available through Club Z! Kindergarten readiness, music lessons and summer tutoring is also available. To take the first step in helping your child succeed in school, simply visit their website and enter your zip code to find a tutor in your area.
