Feeling like Fall

The weather has turned cooler and for some reason this always makes me feel like baking. I made Pumpkin Chocolate Chip muffins - seriously this is the easiest recipe ever. One box spice cake mix, one can pumpkin, some chocolate chips. Mix it all together, put it in muffin cups, bake at 350 until it looks done...

It makes the kitchen smell so nice, it tastes like Autumn, and I even let my kids eat it for breakfast. I figure the pumpkin makes it healthy...

Thirty Day Review

We had our meeting on Friday to discuss how Marc was doing in 3rd grade. I was very impressed with how much support Bakerfield has given Marc so far. They had completed several tests, including the OLSAT, which Marc missed last year.

All of the tests indicated that he is doing great and he is appropriately placed. He is also getting pull out services twice a week to work on his writing skills and also to review the science units he missed last year. He is starting to make friends and seems very happy.

All of the teachers who worked with him commented on how pleasant Marc was, and how comfortable he is around both adults and other students. I am very proud of him and feel better about the decision we made to accelerate him.

His only weakness seems to be spelling. He gets that from his father...
