Wow Maris - that's a remarkable achievement. Sounds like you have a very smart and very applied young man on your hands. Are you a left-brainer too? I'm always amazed at people who have a natural gift for mathematics. To say nothing of the work ethic required to excel in a class like that. Rare in a young teenager. Congratulations to him (and to you, for raising such a talent).

Thanks all again. No I am hopeless in math in fact all summer my neurosis kept coming out because I was always asking, so how is it going in math, can you handle it? he would just reply its ok which had me nervous that he wouldnt be good enough in math for the school. We were both surprised at the awards ceremony that is for sure.

Justin took first place in breaking at the International Tang Soo Do World Championship (karate) in the six and under division. He is being rewarded with a trip to Sea World in Orlando tomorrow -- if it is open.

Maris, I'm not sure how I missed your good news before but congratulations to your ds. I am so in awe of people who can do more than add two and two. I think that his accomplishment is absolutely wonderful. Dana, Tell Justin that his win is awesome. I saw the picture in the other thread and he is so adorable. I'm am so glad that he and your dh are safe and I really hope he gets his trip tomorrow.

DH just called from Youngstown (another karate tournament). Justin took third place in forms and first place in sparring. The first place trophy is nearly as big as he is (comes up to his chin) and he is absolutely thrilled!!

The grades 4,5 and 6 in Hilary's school were given a challenge to write something other a poem or paragraph telling why we have Rememberance Day. Her's was picked and she got to read it at the Rememberance Day Service at School. I was upset because I didn't know that she won, I was sick and although she was singing in the choir I didn't go, had I known she was going to be reading her poem I would have drug my big butt there. Anyway here is her poem, it isn't perfect but it sure shows that she knows what it is all about and I think that is what the teachers were looking for. Remember and Imagine Remember the soldiers that fought for us and died one by one. Remember the soldiers that sacrificed their lives for us. If you can't remember, Imagine Imagine how hard it was to watch your best friend die. Imagine how hard it was to be a Mom or Dad getting a letter saying your son or daughter died in war. So I promise that every Rememberance day that I will wear a poppy to honour the soldiers that fought for us. Hilary 5-c

Just have to brag about my DS. He's 9 and is in his third year of piano lessons. Today he had "Sonafest" -- a festival where each student memorizes a Sonatina (or one movement of one) and performs it for an auditorium of people and a judge. DS has been working on his piece for the past 2 months. He was nervous last night because he said there was one part that he always messed up. Well -- he performed fifth of 23 people today...and played flawlessly! Not one mistake, AND he used dynamics, pauses, the whole shebang! DH and I were busting our buttons!

I'm not really a bragging type parent, but I'm so proud of my dd. She's in 7th grade and got a 3.1 grade point average and made the Merit Roll for the first grading period. Seventh grade is a HUGE adjustment for many students and she seems to be doing quite well. Congratulations to all the proud parents in this thread

Oh, I have one!! DS came home from community college this afternoon... he needs to sign up for 2nd semester classses - (he is hard of hearing, and well, flunked out of the state college due to lack of resources) anyway... His current History professor after class talked ds into Prof's HONORS History class for next semester!! DS is walking on cloud 9. (and mom wonders what is an Honors COLLEGE class? I get Honors and AP classes for high school, but college? Does it give higher point values in grades?)

Reader234: Congratulations to your DS (and you too)! I was in my college's two year honors program. Since it was a liberal arts college (& conservatory), each class was from a different area of study - biology, music, religion, and so on. The honors classes weren't scored higher nor were they worth more credits than regular classes. The only difference was they were only open to those students whose high school records qualified them for the honors program. Oh, and one did have to sign up for the program. ETA: We did have a continuing ed student in some of the classes though - I'm not sure what the criteria was for her to be in the program.

Thank you everybody! It is not the prize that counts (but is a bonus) it is that her photo will be published in the local newspaper and I can add it to her baby book! I am as sappy as they come! Happy Holidays, we are in the mist of a blizzard!
