Just wanted to let you all know that Joey just brought home his end of year report card and he's done fantastically well! The teacher praises both his work and his attitude. He had 87% for Maths and an amazing 96.5% for French (class average was around 70% - and most of them ARE French!) I'm very proud of him! :D

WOOHOO!! WTG JOEY!!
Now, he REALLY deserves what's in the package I sent! :)

k3n 06-26-2009 07:07 AM

Thanks Terri - I just told him and Lily straight away says 'is she sending something for me?' LOL

Way to go, Joey! Teach those French kids, how to speak French. :lol:

Of course there's something in there for her! Silly girl! Now tell her to go stand on her head for 5 min for even thinking that I'd put something in there for her brother and forget about her. lol

Amma - he'd LOVE that!

Ninnie - of COURSE he gets it from me!!!!

Tell him if he wipes it off, he doesn't get what's in the package. lmao

Did Lily go stand on her head yet? lol

WOW Kathryn how greatis that, the kids seem to pick up the languages so fast.

Well done Joey from Elle X

kwhite 06-26-2009 09:17 AM

félicitations!!!

k3n 06-26-2009 11:01 AM

Terri - Lily is hyper enough without any more blood to the brain! But when I said of course there'd be something for her she just got this beady, avaricious look! Little madam!

Elle - it's got to the stage where I ask Joey 'how do you say this or that on French' - and he corrects our accents! We were in the New Forest in April and you know the place Beaulieu? Pronounced Bee-uu-leee - well Joey wet himself at those stupid English people who couldn't say it right!

K - on Joey's behalf, merci bien AND you did the accent which I'm guessing isn't easy on a qwerty keyboard! :wink:

littlehud 06-26-2009 11:04 AM

Wow. He is an overachiever. You must be so proud. What a great report card.
