Brilliant Jake!!

I don’t know why I haven’t remembered to blog about this in the last few days. When Jake got his report card last Friday, we got the IOWA results back for his testing earlier this year. Now–I have to say–I do need a moment to brag just a little bit!

Jake scored in the TOP 99% for the entire country in Math and Science. In Reading and Spelling he scored in the top 91% in the country!

Isn’t that amazing?? I should mention that he has always been so smart. He taught himself the alphabet by sight before he turned 2! I say he taught himself because he would find a letter–ask me what it was–and he never forgot it. It was amazing!

He was an early reader-reading chapter books in Kindergarten. He has gotten straight A’s and A+’s ever quarter thus far–he’s going into the 4th grade. The only problem that I’m having with him—I can’t get him to do his homework for anything!! Pretty hard to tell him how important getting his homework done is in order to get good grades–when he consistently gets good grades, without doing his homework! He’s had weekly spelling tests since the 1st grade–and honestly–I don’t think he’s ever missed a word! Truly–he’s amazing!! Wow–at this rate–I won’t need to worry about paying for his college!
