She has also started religion classes which is so hard for me to believe she is old enough to be doing. Next year she'll be receiving her first communion and I just can't get over how close that is! Where has time gone??
Areas that she's improving in:
- She's really started to enjoy reading. It's like a light switch finally was turned on and she now reads with a lot of confidence and isn't afraid to try to read a book that has words she doesn't know.
- Also she is more willing to try to sound out words that she doesn't know how to spell.
- She's taken very well to having responsibilities at home and is doing well with them. Her chores include:
Making her bed, feeding her fish, getting dressed and teeth brushed in the morning, feeding Toby and picking up her room daily. Every now and thn she needs a reminder but most of the time she does great with it.
She is doing great though for the most part. I am really proud of her and how hard she is working in school. She took her first spelling test last week and did great and this week she's been put on the spelling challenge list!!! So proud of her! Math is a struggle for her right now but we are doing daily flash cards together and I'm already seeing an improvement. She is amazing with history though and is always talking to me about the president or how cars weren't always around, etc etc. She obviously takes after her mom here in loving history!
Also in the month of September Hailey played in soccer and even though she wasn't thrilled with it in the beginning she really loved it towards the end and was really improving! She is a great goalie! I love watching her play!
Hailey has also mastered cartwheels, handstands, splits and round offs. I need to find her a tumbling class, I think she would love it!
Areas she is struggling in:
- Suddenly this year Hailey has because a social butterfly. She was never a shy kid but she was always one to follow the rules and this year at school this has become a little difficult for her to remember to not talk when she's not supposed to be. She is definitely not like her mother here! ha This week she is actually grounded because once again the teacher told me she had several problems with Hailey talking when she isn't supposed to. So we are working on it.
Areas where I am really enjoying Hailey in:
- We read together every night and I love this. We lay on her bed and read one of the books in the Magic Treehouse series we are reading right now. There are not a lot of pictures but it amazes me how much Hailey picks up on even when it's mostly words on every page.
- I love talking about her day after I pick her up from the sitter or at dinner time. I especially love hearing what is her favorite and least favorite parts about her day. I have learned a lot about her and her days at school just by asking those questions.
