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.

Swim Lessons

Hailey has been taking swimming lessons on Wednesday afternoon. She told me she really likes her teacher and that she even lets her sit on her leg sometimes. She said her teacher last year never let her do that at all. She then proceeded to tell me that her conclusion was that her teacher last year was not very nice and that Miss Cat is super nice. She is gaining more and more confidence and getting braver to try things out quickly. So proud. Hopefully by the end of the summer she will be a fish or close to it.

The 2nd Tooth I Pulled

* Hailey asked me to video her pulling out another tooth so I filmed just for her. I think she forgot she asked me to video and that she wanted to pull it herself. I told her to just pull it and she got it out on the 2nd attempt. Good thing. I haven't had to do one yet. Yuck and gross. Brady has assisted with the other 4 and she has taken care of the last 2! Way to go Miss Hailey Rae.

The Tooth Fairy left 2 dollars and a York Peppermint Patty (which she shared a piece with everyone)!
