Way to Go!

We just got Ethan's progress report back from his school. Ethan got 4 out of 4 on almost everything. He got a 3 on matching the letters with their sounds. We couldn't be more excited. He is doing so well. Mark and I were just wondering how he was doing the night before it was sent home. It is really common for deaf kids to repeat kindergarten. We are hoping that Ethan won't have to. If he keeps doing this well it looks like he can be mainstreamed for all of first grade. Currently Ethan goes to a mainstream AM kindergarten class and then PM he is at the school for the deaf. The progress report was for his AM class.

Dear Mark and JanaRae,

Okay, Ethan is a miracle! I am thrilled to hear he is doing so well in school. It always takes me by surprise when he talks so clearly on the telephone! Way to go Ethan!!

Love,
Mom
