Yesterday Nick started summer school through our school district. He was referred by his teacher in kindergarten to attend and ever since then he is automatically enrolled. Nick needed some help in reading intially but now he is doing good--grade level reading. But I am keeping him in the program as long as I can--even though he is doing good in school. I figure that any extra help is good and he will benefit from it.
So far he hasn't questioned why he has to go to summer school--seeing that his sister and brother don't go. He has been a trooper getting ready in the morning and getting on the bus (which is kind of a novelty because we live really close to their school and they walk during the regular school year--summer school is held at a different school in the district). We tell him how proud we are of him for being such a good student!
Even though Nick is only at school for three hours (a little more with bus time) a day, 4 days a week, until the end of July--it breaks up the day with all three kids. The boys get a break from each other which they need. Also Emily and Matt get to spend some time together too--it's beneficial all the way around:)
