Tough week for all.

This week was the first time my son came home totally deflated about his work at school.  He was actually crying (don't tell him I told you).  He thought he wasn't as good at math as everyone else which seemed very strange because that is something he actually received a good comment on from his teacher.  I felt bad for him.  I had emailed the teacher asking what I could do to help him and what he wasn't understanding because I thought he was doing good.

After she emailed me back I realized they were doing their "mock" testing and it was a stressful time for the kids (and her too she mentioned).  Apparently they had a test with 65 questions and it was overwhelming.

I had asked one of my good friends and neighbors who is a LEUSD teacher if she was going through this too.  Yep, it was everyone and she was just as stressed as everyone else.  The teachers get so much pressure for their kids to get good grades so it's just as stressful for them as my little 7 year old who thinks he's "stupid" now.

Anyway, I just wanted Kale's teacher who I really like and my neighbor to know they are appreciated.  Made them a little gift right before spring break which is well needed!

Had the jar, paper and ribbon.  Soap, jolly ranchers, smarties and sharpies cost a total of $4 from the Dollar Tree.
