Proud of my Schoolgirls

We had the quarterly parent-teacher conference last week and all three girls brought home highly satisfactory grades. I am so proud of them because I know that they had a lot of adjustments to do last quarter --- I gave birth to Cerise and was busy caring for a newborn, then Cerise got sick and was hospitalized for a week. But despite all these obstacles, they were able to do well in school with some grade subjects even going up.

Their teachers are all praises for them. Yes, they see that the girls were struggling with the changes at home but obviously, they were able to surpass those. Both Nadine and Raya have subjects whose grades went up dramatically. Some grades went down but not very low. Both are second honors and have very good conduct grades.

I was brimming with pride when Raya's teacher commented how Nadine would watch over her sisters in school. Nadine would go to Raya's classroom to check on her and see if she packed her lunchbox properly or if her things are all in order. She has been a very good "ate" to them and I am so proud of her. :-)

Alyssa could have been accelerated to the next level for the 3rd quarter but her teacher and I agreed that it might be too much of an adjustment for her. She can do it academically but emotionally she might have difficulty since there are also adjustments at home. I don't mind leaving her in the Toddler level and wait for her to be ready for Nursery next year. I know she will ace the Nursery level as well.

I think I owe all these also to our yaya Anie who has been great in filling up my shoes in times when I cannot do the things I usually do for my girls. She is really a gem and I thank God for giving her to us.
