"Let every individual and institution now think and act as a responsible trustee of Earth, seeking choices in ecology, economics and ethics that will provide a sustainable future, eliminate pollution, poverty and violence, awaken the wonder of life and foster peaceful progress in the human adventure."
- John McConnell, founder of International Earth Day
RIGHT NOW, and then again tomorrow and then again the next day and on it goes day after day,
1/2 OF THE WORLD lives on LESS THAN 2 DOLLARS each day.
Psalm 27:4
One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple.
Do all you can and don't worry about the odds against you. Wield the miracle of life's energy, never worrying whether we fail, concerned only that whether we fail or succeed we do so with all our might. That's all we need to know to feel certain that all our force of diligent effort is worth our while on Earth.
Carl Safina, Voyage of the Turtle

Conferences

Tonight was P/T Conferences...for all 3 of the girls....

The elementary is grading based on the Standard Based Assessment. 4 - 1, with 4 the highest.

Tuki earned all 4's and 3's. A ton of praise from her teachers about her behavior. She is at a DRA reading level of 34, which is 500- 800 lexile, which is about mid-3rd grade level.

Ve earned 1, 2 and some 3's. What I didn't like is she had 2's on her effort. So she came along tonight and we talked with her teacher about her effort. What came out of the conference is that the teachers feel now is the time to check her for ADD since it is now getting in the way of her learning. Her DRA is also 34, mid 3rd grade while she is at 4th grade. She wastes a lot of time with everything around her and doesn't get to work, especially on her own. So I will be calling her doctor tomorrow to start the evaluation process for her ADD diagnosis. Her classroom teacher even had the school psychologist conduct and observation and it is her report that confirms she needs help focusing.

Mim earned all A's & B's in her classes. Not bad for her sophomore year in a new school.

Other than that we are all doing well.
