Yeah Schane'!


For some reason Schane's teacher did not send home the Friday folder that usually gets sent home, well, on Friday's, of course. As Schane' was reading aloud to me tonight I was going through all the papers from the folder. I suddenly came across two spelling tests that they take on Friday's. I noticed that she got a 100 & then looked on the back because they also take a math test following the spelling test. I noticed that on one side of the paper she got them alright & beside that she had some problems with other math problems.


Her score was in the mid 80"s! I was soooooo ecstatic I was talking at the same time while she was reading so she started yelling at me to be quiet because I'm the one who told her to read aloud. I let her finish reading & then I showed her what an awesome job she did. She hadn't looked at the papers at all so she had no idea. Every week I bring out jellybeans & go over the math facts that she needs to know for the week. We usually start during the weekend because it takes her a little longer to learn the problems. By the way, she's learning multiplication & division at the same time. As much as the two of us struggle together this really gave me a boost that I desperately needed.
