First Spelling Test

Last Friday Hailey took her first spelling test in school. She scored 100%! She could hardly stand me helping her study and quickly spelled them off. We even did a practice test on paper. She has another one today. Since it is a short week she is having the same test again plus two bonus words (still and clock). Not sure if she will get those right or not but I am proud of her nonetheless. She was most tickled about getting to sit in the awesome school desk I found at the Resale Barn in Texas last week. I called out words last night and made her raise her hand when she was finished. She has always LOVED to play school. Even though she says she does not like school, she does a little. It is growing on her and I can tell. She loves to learn. She despises doing the same thing over and over and over again. Once she has something down, she sees no need to keep doing it. Hence all the bored comments. Sitting still for so long also kills her. She would much prefer a different type of class setting. This leads to her rushing through most things - including outside extra curricular activities. So we are working on slowing down a bit and trying to do things better. When I do get to hear little bits of how her day went, I can tell she was soaking it all in for the good. Proud of you Hailey Rae. Hang in there. School is good. Boring at times yes I totally agree!

5 Star Student

I am posting this for Miss H. Friday mornings in her classroom they get to bring a special drink to enjoy at their desk. This is the reward for keeping all of their behavior sticks at school. She will always have a drink on Friday. She likes to please others, has always responded well to incentives and most of all is just a great kid! So far she has brought orange juice, cranberry juice and a Sunkist!

I Started First Grade

This is when I started school. It is my first day of First Grade. It is fun except the time that I have to sit. I like recess. I like to go to school but I miss my parents. The End.
