October Continues Plus School News

The end of the grading period was Friday, October 6th, so we know what AA's grades are. Last year she earned straight A's all year long. A HUGE achievement. This year she has all A's and one B (an 89). The B is from Social Studies, which is dumbfounding us! The day after Labor Day, she took two tests and scored a "D" on both. We do not know why and she has no explanation. The good news is that she brought that score up to a 90 by last week. Then this week she had two tests which each had 8 questions. Well, if you miss one question you are down to a B (88 score). So she got B's on the tests. We are fine with what she does and a blip here or there is something that happens. She is an excellent student so no long term worries. {Update: There was another grade added by the teacher, so now AA does have an A in this class. We are happy to know she got a 100 on her last test.}
She was excited about learning how to "shade" in Art class. Here's her attempt at home to show us. We think she did very well.

After school on Friday, AA plaued nine holes with Ms. Penny at the Fleming Island Golf course, as EH was busy with the AJGA Tournament, then by 5 p.m., she was off to her EH PGA Team practice.
Saturday, AA played in the Eagle Harbor PGA Junior Golf Team at the King and Bear (away match); EH won 8.5 flags to 3.5. 
Match 4: Dylan Frein, Alyzabeth Morgan, Gehrig Van De Water.
Did I say that AA is the only girl on the Elite team?

October 8th, was a busy Sunday with church, then I took AA to Owen's birthday party (includes the OPE Squad - Tyler/Dylan C., Owen K., Abbey C., Jane W. and Connor W.), while Daddy Ford and Justin finished cleaning out our storage unit - so happy that is empty!! 

Then off to the Eagle Harbor golf course, they hosted a three day AJGA Tournament. The kids were invited to the Billy Horschel Clinic, plus Ms. Penny volunteered to be an official/shuttle for all three days. After the golf clinic, AA went to OPUMC for the 456 Club and JAM choir practice. A FULL day!
From Facebook: fm - The Billy Horschel Junior Championship concluded today. This 3 day AJGA tournament held at Alyzabeth’s Eagle Harbor home course was loaded with junior golfers representing the best of the best. More than half having already committed to major Division 1 programs. 
Alyzabeth’s Sunday PGA Jr. practice was a workshop put on by Horschel and his coach, the #1 ranked Todd Anderson now performing his pro tour magic at TPC Sawgrass.
The tournament itself was amazing. The skill set of the junior golfers was truly mesmerizing. A special shoutout to Ms. Penny who served as our personal course valet. Awesome. Thank you.

October 9th, Monday, was a no school day, but Mrs. Rauth held a Robotics Team workshop where she invited an irrigation expert to speak on water usage, including golf course water management. This year the teams must choose a water related project. After Robotics, at noon, Ford and AA went back to EH to watch the end of the AJGA tournament and visit with Ms. Penny. We then had a nice time at the River House and homemade spaghetti dinner (AA played Minecraft on-line with Noah W. while eating dinner!).
Facebook: More work done today restoring the River House lower deck. Beautiful weather (a bit hot today, but the ac is on inside). Love the river view, never tired of our afternoons together, with two of my favorite people! ❤️ #RiverHouse #StJohnsRiver #OrangePark

This photo was on Facebook, so good of my niece, Heather, thought I would save it here!

Back to school tomorrow - Tuesday!
