Thats what the teacher is writing on James paper, say what you want about the little trouble maker but he is a smart kid. The teacher wrote that James had a fantastic day in school today so once again he got to play his Scooby Doo game, and when he was finished, he and Dad put together the Scooby Doo puzzle he got the other day with his Christmas money. We then played with the learning game he got for Christmas and then he helped me scan his homework as we went over it.

I watched him play the Scooby Doo game and noticed that James has to buy things and save up money (or Scooby Snacks) to pay for things, perhaps thats why he did so well his first time out buying things. He had been practicing with the Scooby Doo game.

James had a great day in school today, both discipline wise and smarts wise. He was allowed to play his Scooby Doo game and he was ecstatic. James did very good on all his work sheets, in fact most were perfect scores. We scanned some of his school work and then james ran off to play more Scooby. In fact, he is playing it while I am doing this, but have no fear, he will see this post shortly, we always review his schoolwork whether we post it on the internet or not, but he enjoys reviewing it online better.

I snapped this picture of James in his glory, good day at school and everyone is happy. Michigan is pretty well dug out from yesterdays snow and the area looks quite picturesque.

We have been dodging the bullet for some time now, but today we finally got hit with an actual snowstorm, 3-6 inches which made driving a little rough today.

James made it home from school fine, and he did well on his schoolwork, however the teacher said he had a “challenging” day which means to us there was a discipline issue so he was banned from playing his video game today. He understood and did not protest, hopefully he will learn his lesson.

James and I went over his schoolwork, he worked on several letters and identified properly the drawings on each. We then took out the staples from the papers and scanned them. James helped by stapling the papers back together. He was a perfect little gentleman and worked the stapler part of the project perfectly. We’ll work on his train track tonight then maybe watch a little television. Hopefully there is school tomorrow, should be, the snow has stopped for now.

James had a big day today, returning to school after a 2 week layoff. His teacher said he had a great day (in the past, some of James’ return to school after long lay offs were not as good). We checked his schoolwork and everything looked complete so we gave James congrats then let him have some of his candy from the holidays and play Scooby Doo on the video game.

James did a couple of projects over the weekend. He made 2010 robots, his new invention that will replace the calendar some day. He also made a calendar for the whole year, took him a couple hours for a couple days but he did finish it and is using it. We have added pics of these to this post (you have to click read rest of entry to see the pics on any of these posts)

A good day at school for James, Yeah! We are hoping that posting his work on the website will make him strive to do better, only time will tell if it works but we’re going to try it.

It was a very tough school year for James but he hung in there and completed his work and passed Kindergarten and will be in the first grade next year at Hoover Elementary.

Congratulations James!

James did not look very happy when we dropped him off for his first day of Kindergarten. He did ok when we picked him up but we felt bad for the little guy, so we made a project for him, tinkertoys and hot wheels. Two toys that really do not go together we thought maybe James would be able to combine them into something interesting, sure enough he did.

After playing with the tinkertoys separately, then playing with the hot wheels separately, he combined the two for something original and unusual. We have added the pics to this post of his latest creation.

Originally we were hoping that James would go to St Albert like his Dad and Aunt, but unfortunately St Alberts school closed down a few years back due to lack of students.
