Yesterday we received the boys third quarter report cards and went their conferences. The older two go to a very academically demanding Classical and Christian school and Jonah our youngest son is in his last year of pre-school. Basil is in second grade and is reading at the 4th grade level and doing 3rd grade math. Nicholas is in Kindergarten and doing first grade math.
We are so proud of all three boys. All their teachers gave them great reports. Basil earned all As and Bs and Nicholas Os and S+s . In Kindergarten they receive O,S, and Ns not A , B etc. Next year Jonah will join his brothers at their school. It is going to be an exciting year because they are building the new school; up until now the school has be renting space from a local PCA church.
We are so grateful and give thanks to God for giving us healthy children who are capable of learning. May our children always give Glory to God in everything the do.

Great job boys!!!!!!:coolman: Am I the only one that had to look up orthography? :shysmile:
That is just SUPER!! It is such a great feeling to see your children succeed, and do it THAT well!! That really is fantastic!!!!!!!!! HUH??? What is orthography??? What do the “O”‘s stand for??
I, totally agree, to give thanks to God for blessing your children the ability to learn. I know, I do, take things that are actually HUGE blessings, and failing to even recognize them, and then not thanking the Lord for them! Thanks for the reminder Lisa!!!!!!!!
Thanks Jane , thanks Lisa.
The Os are for Outstanding .
Orthography is basically spelling and writing it comes from the Greek. ortho- (“correct”) and graphos (“that writes”). Here is the system they use at the boys’ school http://www.riggsinst.org/ This year the children begin to learn to read , write and pronounce the phonograms.
