Congrats!

Great Job! So happy for DS!

That is wonderful news, JB!!!

I hope DS has a terrific year and really enjoys first grade. Keep us informed of all the new developments. Do you know who his teacher will be yet? Any feel for what he or she is like?

Awsome News!

Yay JBDad and family! Way to go!

That's great! Congratulations!

Great news! You made getting grade skip look really easy Good job!



It's great, isn't it? I am afraid that a month or two from now it will be the other way around You know when quite a few people find out that their child teacher is not what they hoped for, that differentiation meant more work, that "all kids are gt". etc.

Noooooooo -- I will not be pessimistic, I will not be pessimistic, etc., etc. I am so hopeful for next year and so fear exactly this reaction . Love one new teacher, love one new school situation (9 HG kids with two teachers!), and believe all will be rosy . I spend most of my time thinking about how fortunate this situation is, but about 5% with the creeping doubt that it will turn to dust next month. I'm hoping the optimistic part wins and I'm thrilled for all the good news on the board lately.

Maybe it's all just progress, rather than false high hopes!! Do you think it's possible?? Tell me it is . . . .

Here's hoping everyone has a great school year and a happy and healthy year in general! I, too, love reading all the good news. Yay, go team!

I'm going with unbridled optimism for now. We need it! There's always time for disappointment later.

You know what I always say: expect the worst and hope for the best. Keep a positive outlook, but be prepared to act if things don't go as you hope. I really think it's a sensible, Spock-like way to be!
