I saw your Semester 2 midterm report card, and I want you to know how proud I am of you. You are working hard, learning new things, and continuing to grow in so many ways.

Strong marks, steady effort, and showing up each day all matter … and I can see you’re doing that. Keep believing in yourself, keep asking questions, and keep trying your best.

You are building a bright future one step at a time, and I’ll always be cheering you on.

Love always,
Tata 😊

We watched The Super Mario Galaxy Movie this past weekend and we loved it! Here is the trailer. Enjoy!

A nice view of the CN Tower today, paired with a really great lunch … a burger, fries, and a Pepsi 🍔🍟🥤

Sometimes it’s the simple things that make the day 🙂

The Artemis rocket ship is set to land tonight around 8 PM, returning from outer space after traveling around the Moon … the first time NASA has sent humans this far in over 50 years, and the furthest humans have ever been from Earth. A truly historic moment.

🌕 🚀 🌎

We’ll be watching with excitement and enthusiasm. I hope you get a chance to watch it too, Ava. Have a great weekend!

A small touch of Easter today. Wishing you a day filled with warmth and simple joys

I saw your first semester Grade 9 report card.

I just want you to know that I am so proud of you!

Geography at 90%. English at 87%. That’s strong. It tells me you’re capable, you think well, and you can express your ideas clearly. Your teachers also mentioned that you’ve been growing and improving, and that matters a lot 🙂

What stood out to me the most wasn’t just the grades though. One of your teachers said you help make the classroom a more positive place and include others. That says a lot about the kind of person you’re becoming.

Math looks like it was tougher this semester. That’s okay. A lot of people struggle with math in Grade 9. It’s a big jump from elementary school. What matters is that your teacher noticed you improving because of effort and willingness to learn. That’s the part that actually predicts success later.

If I could sit down with you right now, here’s what I would tell you:

You’re clearly smart.
You’re capable of doing really well.
Don’t let one hard subject make you doubt yourself.
And keep being kind to people … that will take you further than any mark on a report card.

High school is the start of figuring out who you are and what you’re good at. You don’t have to have everything figured out right now.

I just want you to know that I see you trying, and it matters to me.

I want you to know something that hasn’t changed and won’t change:

I Love You and I’m proud of you!

Tata xoxo
