Whoa, how did this happen so fast? I swear he was just starting Kindergarten last Fall and now I officially have a 4th Grader! It still seems surreal. Colton did great in school this year. He was never tardy (which might not sound like much but last year he was tardy 16 times), he only missed 2 days of school (both were for a family vacation), he never complained about going to school but instead I think he fully enjoyed his 3rd Grade Year. His teacher, Mrs Packard, was amazing! She recognized the additional assistance that Colton needed with ready and made sure he got it. In February we agreed to do some additional testing to see if Colton has a learning disability as his reading progress just wasn't what it should be. Sure enough he does have a learning disability, which is nice to know and has really helped us to understand somethings we can be doing to help him. It was fun to see his IQ scores and the breakdown. 90-110 is normal for his age, his overall IQ is 108. His IQ in Math was at 121 and Comprehension was 114. It was the reading that is bringing down his overall IQ as it at 78. But with this information we were able to set up an IEP (Individual Education Plan) and he has an assigned case worker at school to be sure that we are tracking his progress and ensuring he gets all the help he needs to be successful. He excels in areas like Math and Science, which have always been his strong points. He never gave up this year, he tried so hard in everything he has done and for that we couldn't be more proud. We are excited to enjoy our summer just hanging out and relaxing and hopefully doing plenty of reading so he doens't lose all the progress he has made. Happy Last Day 3rd Grade Colton!
