The End of Sophomore Year

Well, it's done. Over. I always have mixed emotions. I realize that time is going by so quickly and that I will yearn for these days again. Glad to be rid of the 5:45 a.m. mornings and car ride in the dark. Also, the schedule of appointments and activities that follow the school year. Kay got straight "A"'s in all her classes. She did screw up the 10th grade writing assessment and only got a "2". This is the kid that has published two books and writes better than her brother who's a Junior in college. When I asked her about it, she told me that she didn't like the prompt so she wrote about something important to her---Civil Rights and the Disability Movement. I'm proud of her "2". She only gets one score versus "typical" kids get 2, one for content and another for conventions. Since she dictates to scribe she doesn't get a conventions grade. I hate standardized tests. Only 10 weeks until Junior year. I'm sleeping in tomorrow....at least until 7:00 a.m.
