The girls are truly doing a great job in school! I am doing ok in school too. I made a 98 on my first math test and a 78 (C+) on my first Anatomy test. I also made a 25 (of 25) on my first speech and a 23 (of 25) on my first test in speech. I am hoping to be able to bring up my Anatomy grade with the next test.

The weather is getting cooler. The girls are looking forward to Halloween (really the CANDY!!) They are even thinking ahead to Christmas.

The girls are doing

The girls are doing very good in school. Since Amber’s teacher does not do progress reports, I had to calculate Amber’s grades. According to my calculations Amber should be on the A-B Honor Roll. Amber has an A in Math and B’s in Science, Social Studies, Reading, and Language Arts. Alyssa also should be on the A-B Honor Roll. Her teacher sent home a progress report with 8 grade categories on it. Alyssa had a mixture of A’s and B’s. We have to wait until October 13th to get the actual grades.

Alyssa had a visit from the “Tooth Fairy” last week. The Tooth Fairy had to come 2 nights to pay. The 1st night the Tooth Fairy came, but didn’t leave any money. We shortly found the tooth on the floor. We figure the Tooth Fairy couldn’t find the tooth on the floor. The 2nd night we put the tooth on the table next to the bed. The Tooth Fairy left Alyssa a brand new $1. Alyssa was very excited that the Tooth Fairy found her tooth.

The girls are on their Fall Break from school. They are visiting their dad this week. Alyssa was very glad she lost her tooth last week so she can get an extra $1 from Nana for her tooth. Amber was excited that she got to take her dog, Angel, to her dad’s. The girls will also get to spend a lot of time with Nana and Papa this week too.

I have been in school for 1 week now. I have my 1st speech due on Tuesday, October 4th. I also have my 1st Anatomy & Physiology and College Algebra tests on Thursday, October 6th. I am always nervous about the 1st test. I always consider the 1st test the hardest because you don’t know the testing style of the professor.
