Surprise....more heat/Karen's schoolwork

Downstairs this morning at 5:00 a.m., opened the doors to a great breeze...one problem, the breeze felt as if it were from the bowels of Hades. Not looking forward to mid-day's heat.

Last night I was helping Karen with some schoolwork and it's amazing how far she has progressed in a short period of time. One month ago we made the decision to move Karen & Rosa back to first grade because they couldn't do the 2nd grade work; primarily they couldn't read. Now Karen is reading amazingly well...she may not understand the words, but she has learned to look at them and sound them out correctly. Then we did some math work...I gave her 2o problems and she got 19 correct!

Just one example of how the kids are growing in leaps and bounds. We still have plenty of hurdles in front of us, but now for the first time in their lives there are hurdles behind them!
