We made it to the 100th Day of school! The kids have been looking forward to our party since the first day of school, so this was quite an achievement! It is cute when the kids think that either 1) there won't be any more school after this, or 2) that they will be in first grade after today. Unfortunately for me and them, I still have them for another 80 or so days.
We are doing the midterm assessments for the students to give parents an update on where they are in their learning. It is so much fun to see how much the students have learned since the beginning of the year. Some of the kids come in not knowing anything and now they are reading words and sometimes even books! After working with one that I know has made tremendous growth, it almost makes me cry! I love kids.
Speaking of working with kids, I have a new calling for those who don't know. I get to combine two of my greatest loves--kids and music--to be the new Primary Chorister. I am very excited about it, but I have to remember to actually prepare things ahead of time. I like the songs that the kids are learning, and this will hopefully help me learn more families in the ward.
Finally, I have gotten back into reading and it is wonderful! Recently, I have read Twilight by Stephenie Meyer (a non-scary/gruesome book about vampires) and it's sequel New Moon. Also, I am about half-way through The Secret Journal of Brett Colton by Kay Lynn Mangum (a cheesy, but very cute LDS teen fiction book about a girl who finds her older brother's journal after he died 14 years before.)
Pret is just about to take his second test in Pathophysiology. He got an A on the last one (I don't remember whether I told you all about that or not) and we are hoping he does as well on this one.
That is about all for our family. Love to all!

Megs-You will be great for Primary chorister! We need to get together soon! What's your schedule like? Glad both you and Pret are doing well. I wish I would have celebrated 100 days of school whenIi was little--good idea!
I agree with Sar you will be an awesome Primary Chorister. What a perfect calling for you!
I have also read Stephenie Meyer's books. I love them! On her website you can read the first chapter of a book she's working on. It's the same as Twilight but from Edward's perspective. It's great!!
How did you like the Secret Journal? Cute, no? I've had people tell me they just bawled through the whole thing! I wasn't like that- but I liked it.... The author has another book called "A Love like Lily" I didn't like it quite as much as the first but it was still good.
See you Friday
