Summarising this year

The school year is over and the results of hard work are now visible. When Slavik joined the Donskoy family, Mom and Dad had a dillema of which school grade to put him into. The thing is that being 9 years old Slavik never went to school. He didn't know how to count, he didn't know how to behave with other kids, how to sit at the desk and he wasn't used to studying of course. The easiest would be for him to start from the very beginning, going to the 2nd or even 1st grade. Of course that would mean he would be a big guy with the little 6-year-olds. That would be awkward plus he would stay an 'overgrown' one for the rest of school.
No matter how hard it seemed to be Mom and Dad decided he had to try studying with the kids of the same age as himself. From nothing to 4th (!) grade is quite a jump! It was SO hard and challenging in the beginning, a little better after the first semester. And by the end of the school year Slavik didn't have a single fair mark, only 'A's and 'B's with the medium mark 'A-'. Not bad, huh?
The hardest turned out to be Ukrainian language and Math.
The best results in English and Music.

That's our boy... :)
