dd13 is doing well in her first year of high school. She loves the orchestra director. AP Human Geography is a highlight--she has a really exceptional teacher and he makes the class extremely interesting and challenging. She could do without bio. Math she is working hard to maintain an A and is stressed out by the sophomore baseball players who talk too much during class. She is enjoying the Spanish academy, but it is frustrating to have the discussion in her English lit. class be in Spanish, when they are only taking spanish II and she so the depth is limited. I think in the following yrs. it will be a better fit for her. Overall she is happy and handling the transition well. Oh, I almost forgot--she joined the debate team and came in 2nd in the first competition and 5th in the 2nd. She was very excited!
dd7 in 2nd is more of a puzzle. We are finally going to do private testing in the spring. Hopefully that will give us some more answers. Her report card was great and behavior at school is great but we see very different things at home.
