Yamile is enjoying 5th grade. She has had some minor problems. She can’t manage to open her locker in time for classes. This really bugs her.  A few kids have teased her this year. Overall, she is happy though. The work is hard especially since she is so behind everyone else and they really believe she should be with kids her age instead of where she is developmentally. I think she would be better suited in a 3rd grade or even 4th grade class.

Jorge is doing ok in Kinder he got sent to the principals office. We have sent him to see a counselor and she does not think there is much she can do. She said he is very bright and very opinionated, a difficult combination…

Luna our new dog is getter bigger and Yamile is really great with her. Yamile also loves her new cousing Cira (sounds like Kyra) very much. She can’t wait to see her in a few weeks.

Good night and God bless,

Gina
