It’s Sunday afternoon and there is a big sigh of relief over the fact that there is no school tomorrow or the day after that or the day after that…etc! We have a week off from school, sports and therapy and we’re pretty happy about it. Rudy got a head start on spring break as the Goleta Unified School District schools had Friday off as well. Woo Hoo!!! Actually, I’m not sure Rudy is all that thrilled about spring break. He loves going to school and being with his friends! 😉 What a blessing it is to know he is in a loving and stimulating educational environment that he enjoys so much.
Rudy showed great determination during his school’s annual Move-a-thon last week and he has shown great support on the sidelines of many DPHS Lacrosse games the past couple of weeks…with both Max and Olivia playing lacrosse this spring, we get the fun opportunity to go to twice as many games as in years past! Rudy has even made himself useful as assistant clock-keeper…
Rudy has been working hard on his sight words the past couple of years and began stringing them together to read simple sentences in recent weeks. Ms. Ochoa started introducing phonics to him recently as well to see how he would respond and he is getting it! Here’s a little sample of his progress that his teacher sent me: (sorry the video is a little wonky)
What a great reminder of how much fun it is to learn!! 🙂 Well, even though Rudy may not be desperate for some time off from school, I think the break this week will do us all some good. Happy Spring Break Everybody!!

Tell Rudy I’m gonna beat his hi score on that letter game.
