Teachers

The last day of school for Minkai and Minda, I went to their picnic and wanted to go back to work after that. Minda did not want me to leave and tears came off. I brought her to the lines going out to a magic show after the picnic. Her teacher saw her and asked me, "do you need to go?" I nodded. Her teacher said, "Minda, come here." She hugged Minda and said, "I know." Then I left. I felt fortunate to have kids' teachers so caring.

Minkai started to learn percentage in his last weeks' school. He knows how to do multiplication of a number with a percentage, such as (6%x75). In Minkai's progress report, his teacher said that they (teachers as a team) would "work hard next year to continue to challenge Minkai in math to support his incredible math knowledge."

My kids love school. It is so important to provide students care, understanding, challenge, and supports in a school.
