Grace In The Classroom

I am not a teacher, but a mother to a precious 7 year old boy. Logan passed first grade but his reading and writing was not on par and he would have struggled to keep up with the faster pace of 2nd grade. So his then teacher, dad and I made the decision of letting him repeat 1st grade and he displayed the highest grades ever and the year has only bbegun. The grace conversations we had with Logan to encurrage him, was telling him that he is not stupid or slow but a super hero because super hero's don't back down from a fight, they stand up, dust themselves off and try again. They fight until the battle is won. This is what I beleave gave Logan the strength and currage to face repeating the grade wile his friends moved on to 2nd grade.
