Soren got into the Montessori school that we wanted him to get into!!! I am super excited because it is a charter school so I will not have to pay extra money for him to go but the class size is small and they have a go at your own pace philosophy. We have been toiling to get both Victoria and Soren into alternate schools since we moved to Las Vegas and Victoria got accepted but then bumped and Soren has been on some waiting lists. I was anticipating home schooling him as an alternative. I am just super excited that he will not be stifled by his current school next year!!!!!!!
Soren had his first behavioral problems this year and I am convinced that it was because he was not being challenged enough. He seemed bored with his work. This was not surprising to me since his Las Vegas school was way behind his Utah one. (which is saying something since Utah does not have the highest standards) I am sure that he will thrive and I am suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuper happy that he will get the much needed guidance from school that he did not get these past few months. I am also excited that I wont be home schooling him. I would rather he get the social skills that he needs in a school environment. yeah!
As for Victoria, the school she really wants to go to said that they would for sure take her next year if she works just a bit harder. She got bumped because she had one C. She is now on the honor roll and is doing faboo. If she works really hard next year, her 10th grade will be in a charter school that treats them more like they are in college!
I am glad that Nevada provides so many diverse alternatives to the standard education. We are going to take every opportunity to make the kids stronger and more well rounded!!! whoot whoot!!
