Holden's Report Card

Truth is, I don’t know how long I’ll get away with posting the kids’ reports cards here without them getting upset or embarrassed. I posted Riley’s straight As the other day, and here is Holden’s 1st Grade Report Card in all its glory. They don’t use the traditional As, Bs and Cs in his grade so he has a bunch of numbers and Ss and Os.



I’m happy with this report card. As you can see, this was the year he learned to read and write. It seems like every day he says something about how nice it is to be able to read. For example, when we go to an ice cream store he can read the flavors and he will say, “Dad, now that I can read I can choose which ice cream I want myself.”


 
Another reason to be happy with this report card is Holden has ADHD like DJ does, but he doesn't take medication (yet) so the report card is very good considering he can’t sit still easily.

Holden has good focus when there is a puzzle to solve or a group of objects to organize. He is in charge of the beverage area at the house. He stacks the waters, juice boxes and sodas in neat rows. When I assign chores he gets the ones that require good organizational skills.
