So there is this program here called the Accelerated Learning Lab (ALL) for 5th and 6th graders. It was recommended for us to test Abby for it. She did and was accepted into the program. This will put her at a different elementary school than the one we now attend for her 5th and 6th grade years. We have wondered how it would work having her at one school, Anna and Farrell at another school and Emeron at his Preschool, all starting at 9:00am…. But, after much thought, we’ll have all the kids (except Ems) go to the same new school. Adventure awaits in fall of ’08.

So today, I had the opportunity to review Abby’s test scores that admitted her into this program. She did so well!! It was fun to hear the representative from the District Offices talk about the results of Abby’s test; she scored high in everything with reading at a 9th grade level and math at a 7th grade level and in the top 1% for writing score. Her essay was fun to read and to see things through her eyes. See it here. Her love of life and learning is inspiring. She is sincere and optimistic and always compassionate. Abs is one smart cookie! Way to go!!
