I am so proud of my Puddin' Pop today! She received 4 awards for the 6 weeks for being in the 100 Book Club(she's read over 100 non AR books), All Es, BUG award for bringing up her math grade and she met her AR goal. I was a little teary eyed today when they announced her name. Last year was a struggle for her (and for me), we knew she had it in her but she had a hard time focusing and staying on task. She also seemed to find trouble pretty easily. It was even suggested to us that we get her tested for ADHD and get her medicated, which broke our hearts. I was frustrated with all of the issues we seemed to have last year and had strong feelings about moving her to another school. However, when I prayed about it, God's answer was always to leave her at her current school. I really did not prefer that answer but I was reluctantly obedient. What a difference a year makes! She is doing well and has a wonderful teacher that knows exactly how to deal with her personality and get the best out of her. I wish we could just keep her for the next 4 grade levels. (Thank the Lord for good teachers!) I think Puddin' is feeling good about herself too! Thank you Lord for your plan and not mine!
