Interview with a 2nd Grader

Sammy would actually be in first grade this year if he were in public school.  Since he wanted to start a year early and has done so well we've just kept going so he's second grade.  He can read well but doesn't like to read and he really excels at Spelling.  He is more like me when it comes to math & science.  We do well enough in those areas but they're not our favorite.

Sam is really looking forward to Upward again this year.  He loves basketball -watching and playing it.  I love how athletic he is and graceful.  He'll get on the trampoline and just bounce and flip with such ease.  It's amazing to watch.  I believe he is starting to become interested in other sports so we may try some over the summer.

Sam is so helpful and sweet around the house.  He looks for ways to help us and loves entertaining Amos for us.  He's a good big brother but can "love" Amos a little too much and drive him crazy sometimes ;-)  He also loves AWANA and really works hard on learning his scriptures.  I have to help him with some of the words but otherwise he works on his own.  This week he learned Psalm 23:1-6 and practiced over and over.  We even listened to the Keith Green song to help him.  And tonight he said it perfectly!  It was a very appropriate scripture for our week.
