I saw all the kids with the little envelopes, some where pulling out the papers inside, others just holding them protectively. I recognized what they were, it was report card time again.
I wasn't too worried as I knew Lucas had been doing well. I pulled out his report card and was very happy with what I saw. Lots of O's for outstanding, a couple of G's for good and lots and lots of + for doing great. There were several areas where last trimester he had only gotten checks that were now + signs. They also did a standardize math test- starting at 80% it was considered advanced- Lucas got 100%, his teacher even wrote "wow"next to his score. I was so happy.
Later that night Eric talked to Lucas about how proud he was and asked him if he knew why he should do good in school?
"Yes, because if I do good and am nice, then people will be happy and I will have friends and feel good inside."
"Yes, that is good, but not quite what I meant."
Eric then talked with him about college and what a good education can get you.
I am proud of a son who does well in school and a husband who helps teach the importance of a good education.
What is your Proud Mommy Moment this week?
P.S. This Tuesday the 28th will be Ten Things to Smile About this Month!
Well done Lucas! Sounds like he will go far! Definitely something to be proud of.
ReplyDeleteLucas is awesome!!
ReplyDeleteI almost did a similar PMM this week. Buddy asked why i'm always working and we had a conversation about my job and how you need a job to pay for things, etc., and how a good education (doing good in school) will open up doors for you that you otherwise might not get if you didn't have an education, etc. I asked him what he wanted to be when he got older and he said, "A doctor so I can make lots of money." Not to help people...to make lots of money. *sigh*
Aww, that's so sweet! What a great kid you have! Thanks for hosting. Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome he had a wonderful report. Even better that there was great improvement. Congrats on the math that is fantastic. That was sweet about what your son said about education but sweeter that your husband stepped in to talk to him more about it.
ReplyDeleteThat is so great. An education is so important. I can't wait until my daughter is old enough to go to school.
ReplyDeleteWay to go Lucas! That is definitely something to be proud of!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! My PMM is very similar! Yay for our boys!
ReplyDeleteGo Lucas!!
ReplyDeleteThat IS proud!
ReplyDeleteI am so proud to have kids who are NOT like their mama was, and actually care about school and want to do well!
what a nice little guy! Good for him doing well in school!
ReplyDeleteGreat job Lucas! And what a wonderful teaching moment.
ReplyDeleteGood job! Love those moments. Love it when I know my kids get it- or are successfully getting there.
ReplyDeleteExcellent! Great job Lucas!~
ReplyDeleteGood job Lucas! I'm sure you were super proud of him and your hubby :)
ReplyDeleteWay to go Lucas! It's good you're laying the foundation down so early.
ReplyDeleteThat is so sweet. What a smart kid and an awesome daddy! (And I'm thinking there's some pretty great mommy-ing going on, too).
ReplyDeletePunky also does great in schook, but she still insists that she is NOT going to college.
Oh that's awesome for Lucas! And wow on the standardized testing!
ReplyDeleteJust the other weekend I was telling my s-daughter about being in grade school and told her I didn't want to learn how to spell. I told my dad I didn't need to because it wasn't like I was going to talk to the Pres of the US or anything. ha! I actually went on to be a fairly decent speller, but that's beside the point :)
That is terrific!! Yay Lucas … and Daddy too!
ReplyDeleteWe had great report cards around here this week too. It's wonderful to know our babies are doing so well:)
ReplyDeleteOh that is so cute! What a smart boy! That would make my week too. :)
