Great job

Those were the handwritten words on the top of his math thest.

A 105 on his first math test. Wow. He is so excited. He said, "I got it because I studied and I knew it."

Talk about a confidence booster.

His math teacher may take the turn from a "serious teacher" (his words) to a favorite. Today, she required a 10-question homework worksheet for students who were talking a bit too much. Christopher was not one of them. He said she told her he only had to do five questions because he was behaving so well.

Math comes naturally to Christopher. He understands the concepts and how to show your work. From time to time, he will rush through the work and not spend the time checking it for accuracy. That's when the grades slip a bit. But now he's checking his work and writing so clearly.

And making a 105.
