OK, so I'm delayed getting the other blog started up. Thanks for those who emailed me or left me a comment, I appreciate it. A blog with no commenters is kind of like just talking to yourself! You don't have to have a blog to leave a comment either.
Wendy, thanks for all your comments, I always appreciate them, you are not to bold, you remind me of myself.
To the person who comments in Japanese or Chinese, I have no idea what you are saying, or if you are spam? Sorry! If they are true comments, thank you!
Betsy, thank lady, I love you, and your family!
Josie, thanks for leaving a comment, it's very sweet of you, I'm thankful for facebook and the ability to keep in touch with friends like you.
In Anastasia News,
She got glasses. Again, if you have followed you remember when we hosted her she got glasses, well she was not happy, and the orphanage told her she didn't need them and took them. She is far sighted, has astigmatism, mostly in her right eye. Already I see a difference, and her handwriting has improved, it never sat on the line, it does now!She looks super cute in them, and she has accepted the fact that she needs them, I'll post a picture soon.
I forgot to post about her CRCT practice test scores. The CRCT is the state mandated test here in GA. Not a big fan of it, but it did give us an idea of where she is at, and her testing skills. I am happy to report that she averaged a 50% on all 3 tests! And with the fact that her reading skills are way behind and her other difficulties she has with focusing, I think that is great! Her teacher agrees. I attend a meeting today to determine if she'll have to take the real CRCT, she has to do the Math part, but she may qualify due to her language to not have to take the language and reading. I don't see any reason to have her do it, it will only discourage her. The week she took the practice tests her brain was moosh, I couldn't get anything out of her the entire week.
She is reading faster with her glasses too!!!!! I love them on her!! You have done an outstanding job with Anastasia!!!

Thanks Johanna, you have too!!! Her reading has made a jump in the past couple weeks!
ReplyDeleteHello! I read your blog sometimes but I'm usually too shy to comment. I just want to say that I think your kids are awesome and I love hearing about Anastasia! I have mild CP too.
ReplyDeleteHi there! Sorry it has been a while since I have responded. I do however check you blog at least once a week to see if anything new is posted, but due to health issues I do not always feel like responding right away.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your kind words to me. As I have said before I enjoy following along with Anastasia's progress. Glad to know I have not upset you with what I write, but some times it helps to have someone else say or write what you are feeling and do not want to say. LOL!! (did that make sense??)
I have to say I am very impressed with her getting 50% on her test. That is really awesome for her. I hope she was able to get out of taking the other test as well.
I agree with you I am not a fan of the standardized test. Some kids just freak out when you put a test in front of them and these type of test make it worst. I know this because I was one of those kids. LOL!! Even in College I hated test, for some reason I would freeze on stuff I knew all to well. LOL!
How is she doing with her glasses? I bet she looks really cute in them. I also bet her writing and reading both will increase now.
Let us know how you guys are doing when you can.
Love,
Wendy
Cara,
