The teacher's report.

Andy and I started our weekend off, on Friday, by listening to Ms. Alissa talk about how smart and willing to learn Turner is. What a beautiful beginning to an amazing weekend.

At the parent teacher conference she delivered Turner's assessment results to us. He's reading at a starting third grader's level. She said he was a proficient math thinker and lover of science. Good and good. His handwriting, though, reflects sloppiness caused because he rushes through. When I asked later in the day, "What happens once you finish your writing work at school?"
He said, "We get to read any book we want!"
"Ah. So do you rush through your writing work so that you can read a book?"
Shaking his head, he said, "I try to." Well, it shows according to Ms. Alissa.

The assessment figures:
Benchmark for reading is 6 for the fall and 12 by the end of the school year (May 2012). Turner is at a 24 right now.
High frequency word reading benchmark is 25 for the fall and 50 for the entire year. Turner is at 196!

I know this if off topic but I'm looking into starting my own blog and was curious what all is required to get set up? I'm assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty
penny? I'm not very internet savvy so I'm not 100% certain. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. Cheers
