Yes I did! Very exciting.

Just up checking my email and latest posts one last time. I had a great day today.
Matthew got a sticker from a little vending machine the other day that said "Road Kill". Can you believe they put something like that in a kids vending machine? Very disturbing, and I wondered how on earth I would get it away from him. Well, here's what happened.

Friday, Matt took a major math test and made a bunch of goofy mistakes. I made him take an alternate test and he did good (94) so I took that test and filed it away, and then I took that "Road Kill" sticker and put it on his goofy test! LOL He loved it and it took some of the sting away that he had to re-take a test.

The thing he goofed up on, even on this test today was simple place value!! I could have died because he knows it so well, he just spaced it out. So today he started a new section of math and it was two solid pages of place value! I was delighted and said "Look! Just what you need! Some place value review!" and he threw his arms around my neck and said "It's a blessing from the Lord!"

I have been smiling all day about that.

It doesn't get any cuter than that! What a sweet kid!

Good night 2J!

LOL!! What a cute story. I'll have to pass that along to my parents (they are both math teachers). I'm ashamed to admit, though, that I don't remember what "place value" is. (Don't tell on me)
