Not only is Mimi in the superstar club, she has moved up to the red club. At about the same time the reading club started, the teacher started giving the students homework in blue folders with different colored tape on them. After testing (Brigance Test) the students to see where their abilites lie, she put each student in a different group. Purple color was the lowest on the totem pole, followed by yellow, blue, then ending with red being the highest. Mimi started off in the yellow group. A couple of weeks ago, she moved up to the blue, then mama found out today that Mimi has been in the red group for quite some time. Teacher just forgot to put the red tape on Mimi's folder so mama was thinking that Mimi was in blue all this time. I am happy to say that Mimi is in the red with the rest of her peers. All of us (papa, mama and Mimi) have been working really hard to get her to this point. Thanks to our dear friend Allyn who mentioned about starfall.com, that has helped us too. Today Mimi found some Chinese children's stories on it and started to read them.
The Speed Racer toy is a surprise for Mimi when she comes home from school today. It is also a reward for all the hard work she has done. Come this Saturday there is no Chinese school (teacher Michelle is on vacation), so mama, Mimi, Keri and Bailey will go cheer for Blake at his soccer game and then we will all go to see the movie "Speed Racer" and have lunch at Johnnie Rockets. I am quite sure Mimi will be real happy with those plans.
