I am so proud of my daughter this year. She is interested in colors and numbers and will name each and every one she sees. Gone are the days of reading her books throughout the day, she wants to make up the story using the pictures and colors and read it to me!

I was most proud of my son when he learned to write his name. It was difficult for him but he got it! He was pretty proud of himself too.

This school year my 7 year old daughter has bloomed academically. Since she began school she didn’t have an interest in reading or studying. She found friends and tv more important. Now she takes time to read each night, and week over week she expresses her focus and a new goal to challenge herself to the next level in reading. It is amazing the progress I have seen and her commitment in achieving and exceeding the goals she sets for herself.

I was so overabundantly proud when my daughter brought home a hardcover book that she worked on all year in Kindergarten. I loved seeing her progress from the beginning of the year with short sentences and misspelled words to the end where she was so descriptive and articulate! Now she’s in first grade and knows she loves to write and keeps a journal every day!!

My oldest daughter had a rough start in school and she really struggled to learn to read. The past two years she has excelled at reading and when she brought her first report card home this year, I noticed she was at 230% of her AR reading goal. I couldn’t have been happier. Her teacher is very pleased also.

Hoping that my second born would take after my first born, I bought her “My First Leap Pad” to get her interested in reading. To my surprise, it worked!! Now she reads better than most of the kids in her class and enjoys reading to her little brother!! We are all very pleased with the result!!

We are a homeschooling family so almost evey aspect of my son’s academic progress makes me extremely proud. He has struggled with reading and writing this year in 3rd Grade. I was the most proud of him when he wrote a four page report on C.S. Lewis’ “The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe”. He didn’t need to write that much but he had a lot to say. I would love to win the Leapfrog Didj for my little girl who will be starting Kindergarten next year.

I proud of my Son and Daughter every day. This year my son started pre-k. The first couple of weeks he learned how to spell his name and I was so amazed. As time has gone on he has learned his colors which he always had a hard time with, his address, and is even writing words on his pictures he makes at school, so I know what they are. It’s the best feeling in the world when your child comes home to show you what they had accomplished at school and you can reward them with a big smile and “I’m so proud of you baby, you did a wonderful job.” Now my daughter who is only two and not in school sits with her brother almost everyday while my son teachs her things like colors and number ect. Makes me so excited that I can’t help but brag about them both all the time. I can’t wait to see my son grow and learn everyday and same goes for my little gurl who just yesterday with out my help pointed and told me everyones name “Mommy, Daddy, David, and Savannah” that I had writtten on the fridge. Something so little and simple that your child has accomplished can mean the world to you. How wonderful is that to have?…

My son has had many social difficulties and it was suggested to me last year he may be autistic. He has been in first grade just 2 1/2 short months and has made many new friends and is keeping up in his math and reading right along with his peers. I was so proud of my son when I went to conferences and his teacher spoke of him as “typical” or “normal” and “smart” this year. The past two years they described him as “quirky” “strange” and “acedemically behind” He has come out of his shell and it makes me well up just now thinking about it. I love my little guy!

Our sweet first grade son has a learning disability and struggles with reading, rhyming, and memory. With the help of wonderful teachers and specialists he is slowly learning to read. But we were never so proud when he brought home a recent math test where he made a perfect score. He has finally found something he excels in….Math! What a confidence booster for him. Most of all, we are so proud of his efforts and sweet positive spirit.

I have been extremely proud of my daughter since she started preschool a couple of years ago. She sowed us just how smart she was then when she was way ahead of all of the others in her class when it came to letter and number recognition. Last year in Kindergarten she did really well and this year in first grade she is showing that she can read and is far more advanced. Everyday she comes home from school and tells us what she did and what she learned at school makes me more proud of her. Thanks so much for such a wonderful giveaway, this would really be a great gift for my little girl!

I am my daughter’s teacher. I was proud when she started blending her letters to read.
More recently, I’ve been proud of dd because she’s starting to get the hang of spelling. This is her first year spelling, or even writing on her own (rather than copying). Earlier this year, she was getting 2 out of 14 words right on her tests. On her last test, she got 9 right. Still not perfect, but it’s a huge improvement. She’ll get it, and she’s feeling better about her spelling now as well.

When my son Joey was learning to read, he didn’t realize that he could read a “real” chapter book. So, he had brought home a book he checked out of the school library and didn’t even try to read it until I convinced him to. The look on his face when he said “I CAN READ!” was priceless! I’ll never forget it.

I am very proud of my son every day. He struggled a lot in kindergarten. The following year we had moved and he ended up switching schools. The teacher he had for that year asked how we would feel holding him back to let him get a good solid foundation to build on and so we did since nobody at the new school would know that he had been held bak it was like he was starting fresh. He has made so many leaps and bounds since making that choice and he continues to try really hard. It is great to see his acheivements all the time. I am proud of him everyday.

My little boy (8) is hearing impaired and is extremely behind in academics and has even been held back a year already. However, he is making strides. I am most proud of his eagerness to learn.

If you saw the grin on his face you would melt too:)

I am always proud of all of my kids achievements, but the most recent was when my oldest daughter had a story printed in the local paper! Thanks!

My son was having trouble with reading. He had to have an additional class to catch up. One night when I was reading him a chapter from goosebumps he pointed to the word “little” and said mommy I know that word. Then he continued to sound out half of the page. I was so proud.

I was the most proud of my grandson last week when he was over. He knew all of his ABC’s and was able to read a couple of words out of his book. What a proud grandma I am.

I am so proud of my granddaughter this year. She is interested in colors and numbers and will name each and every one she sees. Thanks!

I’m proud of how we’ve leaped from me reading him stories to me asking questions and us talking about the stories and him holding the books and chatting about what he sees. He’s counting his toes and he’s learned (right on time for his 2nd birthday today) to tell me he’s two when I ask (in his toddler dialect; “doo!” with two fingers up.
He’s learning words and numbers I just hope he learns his potty training soon! His Ama (grandma) is always telling me that her older grandkids learned at 7 months!
BTW, I tried to log in with my email and was told that the password was incorrect, even though I use the same one for all of the blog sites I belong to. So I had them mail me the password and they asked me to press a link to reset it and it didn’t work so I had to use an email I don’t use a lot.

I am so proud of my little boy for his math skills…especially since I was never good at it growing up!

I think I was most proud when my son learned to read.

This is a little different but as of being proud of my childs academic progress I would have to say my 25 years old daughter, I am so proud, she is a wife, mom, in the military(full time), and getting her associates—–I never dreamed she would do all this, I am very, very proud of her. She is doing very well in College to.

Once was when my daughter was in first grade and she got an award for the highest math stars test grades out of the whole first grade. Then again this year when she was told that she had to do her ar tests on books higher than a fourth when she’s only in third grade. She can take tests on books up to an eight grade level. I’m very proud of her and I know her sissy is going to follow in her footsteps. Thank you!!

When my daughter was real sick for a semester I was real proud that she was able to maintain her grades. She worked very hard to not fall behind.
