Then I get the Back-to-School Night reminders and I’m thinking “ I hate Back to School Night.” I know this is a surprise since I’m 110% about my kids. However, as a single mom with 2 kids who go to school in Virginia and Maryland while we live in DC means that I have a crazy commute during rush hour. In addition to having to pick one of the boys up first , get back into DC to pick up my other son, and then return to the school.  Are you feeling the WOW factor yet? If not, let me add the Back to School Nights are on a Wednesday and Thursday.

I couldn't understand what the teacher meant since she was reading and from my standpoint, she could tell me what the story was about. The teacher assured me that all kids develop at different rates and they have placed her in a group that would support her reading comprehension skills. I felt as though maybe I messed up because I taught her how to read.
