Jill gets award in school
Last Friday Jill got an Academic Achievement award from her school. She was one of two kids in her K1 class that got an award. Her K1 class is a combined kindergarten and grade 1 class. When they have more than usual number of kindergarteners, they put some of the more mature ones together with some first graders and combined them in one class.
The other girl in her class that also got an award was also a kindergartender. Jen and I wondered why no first graders were chosen. Were Jill and the other girl who are just kindergarteners doing better than the first graders in her class? Why were they giving the awards in the middle of the school year? Are they giving awards every end of a semester (fall, winter, spring)? If so, were there award ceremonies that were held that we did not know about because Jill was not a participant?
In any case, I’m proud that Jill is showing promise academically. She’s been doing well with her reading and writing. I hope she keeps up with it so she’ll have good opportunities when she goes to college.
