1st Grade Update

Incredibly proud of Tug's 1st grade performance thus far. He is doing great. He just took the PA (predictive assessment) in reading and scored an 85%. The class average was a 75%. He took the PA in math. He scored 75% and the class average was 53%. We are knocking it out of the park in the spelling category. For the last 3 weeks he has had the challenge spelling list. He thought he missed one on last week's test, but he hit it out of the park...........a 100%!!!! It's great. I hope he can keep it up. His behavior is great at school.............another thing to talk about at home. He is really testing the waters these days. He wants to argue and fuss about EVERYTHING. On one of the first days of school we had an argument about sitting in the front seat. "I'm six and in the first grade. It's time for me to sit in the front seat."

Then we've had arguments about bedtime, silly bandz (which by the way, I hate), wearing jeans. This morning was the jeans, "I hate jeans. These pants are stupid. They are touching my shoes." I mean, really??? Are we have these conversations???? I wonder when we'll get in the argument of a cell phone.....................but so and so has one. BTW: I know hate is a wrong word.....but really those silly bandz are evil. We'll stay the course, be consistent, and everything will work out.
