One of Ashton's FIRST grades of the year...

One of the things we have learned about second grade is....Ashton gets GRADES! I wasn't ready for this one. In all my years of teaching kids didn't grades on a report card until third grade so this was a bit of a shock for me. Ashton is also learning what it means to get grades...we do lots of explaining and go over each one of her papers that comes home. She will get the hang of it eventually.

One of the first things we recieved in her folder with a grade on it was a Spelling Test. Every Monday they take a pretest on the spelling words for the week. If she gets them all correct or misses one she gets the challenge list. This has been the same since Kindergarten. Actually, in Kinder and First they had to get all 10 words correct, but in second grade she can miss one which she gets again on Friday in additon to her five challenge words.

So this is one of her first Spelling Tests...

Since she got the all the words on the pretest correct and the five Challenge words on Friday, she got a 105%!
{The five challenge words are Bonus Points.}
What a FANTASTIC way to start off the school year Ashton! We are so incredibly proud of you. Keep up the good work!!
