Austin update

Austin has been doing really good in 2nd grade. I think that has to do with his wonderful teacher he has. Of course, all the hard work his mom and dad do with helping him study. I am sure doesn't hurt either. haha He has made a lot of new friends in class and in the neighborhood. We have some new boys that moved in down the street and they play outside ALL the time.
He struggles with spelling, since he spells how he hears sounds. We had a tough word list last week and we were happy that he made a 73 on it. But later, I found out by several parents that their kids failed it..BIG TIME! So that made us feel even better about the 73. :-) He tries really hard and we work hard at home.
This week we have a meeting to discuss what kind of things we can do in the classroom to make it better for his learning. His hearing loss causes a lot of difficulties in the class room. Especially since most teachers teach from several different places in the room.

He is in cub scouts again this year. We have a very large Wolf Den. BUT the boys really enjoy doing stuff together. Their 1st meeting is tomorrow night.
