This morning, Julia has a follow-up echocardiogram and doctor visit with her cardiologist. We have no concerns at this point. She is doing very well physically. This is just a routine check up at Cincinnati Children's
Before this, Mike and I have a conference with Julia's classroom, ELL and reading teachers. Mostly I am expecting positive comments. She is struggling with the writing portion of her homework. This is often the case that this is the hardest and last skill for children like her. She has only known English for less than 18 mos. We think she is doing great.

Karen,
You are so right about the writing skill being the hardest. She has plenty of imagination, intelligence and vocabulary. The writing will come. I think it's a hurdle for some kids as far as wanting to do it "perfectly" and knowing it's not perfect. If she could just write to write, not for a grade or evaluation, but to communicate, that would help. Bottom-line for writing is reading. If she keeps reading, her brain will notice structure and pattern. She'll be just fine.
Hope the day goes smoothly and that Christmas is in the air for you all. We have snow, cold temps, music and each other; it's glorious.
Love,
Linda
