Brielle has been working every night on her spelling words every week for her spelling tests every Friday. She usually would get all but one right, but today she received her first 100%! She came running through the door after school today with her test in hand smiling from ear to ear and said "Mama, I did it!" I am so proud of her - and I am grateful I can be home waiting for my kids to get home after school so I can cherish those memories of my kids running through the door to show me their accomplishments or to wipe a tear after a frustrating day. Just to be there for them when they need me is a huge blessing! On a side note - one of the words on her test was "Mom"! :) She has been making huge strides lately in school, we have been working hard at home every night with her and she is gaining more confidence the more she learns at home and then is able to apply at school. She would show me what she could do, but had a little harder time showing her teacher at school - so we have been working on bridging that gap between home and school. At her parent teacher conference her teacher said that she is a different kid at school now, like a light bulb has gone off, and she knows how to show her teacher at school what she knows just like she shows Toby and I at home! She is starting to read and spell words on her own now as a Kindergartner. She is a very visual learner - so I have worked with her at home with visual learning tools that has helped her to be more successful at school with her spelling words and tests.
Her test is hanging proudly on our fridge!!
