So Proud!

I just got home from my meeting with Sylvan.  After every 12 hours of instruction they schedule a meeting with the parents to go over the things that Christian has learned and mastered.  This was our first meeting after 14 hours of instruction.  

First let me start with the goals.  They predicted that Christian would need somewhere between 68 and 79 hours of instruction to get him caught up to grade level.  He needed to go back to the basics of second grade math and master those skills before they even moved on to the third grade stuff.

Christian is doing amazing!  He has already mastered all of the skills that he needed for second grade math.  They are now moving on to third grade skills to include learning his math facts and also multiplication.  They haven't even started learning multiplication in school yet.  They now expect that he will be up to grade level with only 38 hours of instruction.  That's almost half of what they predicted!  I am beyond excited for Christian.  I struggled with math in school and still do.  I HATED math!  I do not want for Christian to have to go through school feeling the way that I did.  Dominic and I both felt like this was an important thing to do for Christian.  We were hopeful that it would work out.  I can't wait to talk to Dominic tonight and tell him the news!  This is just about the best news ever!
