1st Grade!

Kaden is very excited to start school this year. This will be his first full day. Last year, during kindergarten, he noticed all the other kids going off to the cafeteria with their lunch boxes when he had to go home. Now he has his lunch box and he has been "practicing" eating from it all last week.


All summer long Kaden has been reading and working on his math. He insists on having me make up a 30-40 problem quiz every day so he can practice math and he wants me to grade them. So far with a test every day he is holding an A average. Then, when he has spare time, he gets on the computer and joins kids from all over the world to compete in small math tests with them! He is crazy!

But, he loves the competition and having to solve problems quickly in his head (and fingers). During the quiz, there are two icons indicating his speed vs. the other child's speed that he loves to watch.
