Damon started third grade at East Midvale Elementary in Aug. He is lucky enough to have 2 teachers this year, Mrs. Hughes and Mrs. Witcamp. One of the teachers is there in the morning and the other one comes in the afternoon. Having two teachers instead of one helps keep Damon interested through the whole day! Damon is also enjoying having his little brother Kyler at his school this year! The boys are able to ride the bus to school together everyday, and eat breakfast together in the cafeteria every morning. Damon and Kyler's classes are right across the hall from one another so they are able to bump in to one another through out the day.
Damon is also attending the boys and girls club after school everyday until 6:00 pm. He enjoys playing games with his friends and doing art. On Weds. he goes to scouts for a couple hours during boys and girls club. He is also studying Japanese after school.
Damon has to work really hard to stay concentrated and keep up with the class. He has a packet of homework that he has to do every week as well as spelling words and reading. Every night he works on his homework packet with Dan and does a spelling test and reading with Mom. We have been taking him to the public library every month to pick out books for his monthly book report. He is also able to pick out 2 books of his choice. This month he is doing Horrid Henry (recommended for 3rd grade reading level) for his book report and Marine Corps and a Technology books for his choice.
