Latest update on Brock's school is he loves reading! His class has been doing something called popcorn words. We were given a group of words (10 words) that he had to be able to read off of flash cards with out hesitating. He was given 3 weeks to learn them and then she tested all the students. Those who passed were given a bag of popcorn and new words. It was so cool to see him all excited about passing and ready to learn the new words. 
The library also just started letting the Kindergartners check out books. So Brock came home one day with his first school library book. It was a book about Hammerhead Sharks. We read that thing every night! By the end of the week he knew everything that book said about Hammerhead Sharks.
Also just starting recently was Brock's Reading folder. He came home with a folder and it had a book in it. Each students was given a different book based on there level of reading. His book was just a printout and one of the very basics but the goal is for him to be able to read that book from front to back with no mistakes to me and then I sign off on it and he goes to school and he reads to his teacher. Once he reads to his teacher with no mistakes she then gives him a new book. We started on Tuesday and by Thursday night he is already on book 3. I have never seen him so excited to learn and read! Once he reads to me a few times he will go and sit on the couch and read the same book over and over again. I love how excited he is!
So far he loves school and has yet to have a bad day. He enjoys learning new things and gets excited for school just about every day. I'm enjoying how he loves reading since that is one of my favorite hobbies!
