As of 11:30 this morning, Hannah is off track and on vacation! She'll return back to school on October 24th. It's hard to believe she's off track, let alone has 1/3 of her 1st grade year behind her.
She came home with her report card for this trimester. She got marked "strong performance" in all areas except two, and was said to be doing "very well academically" by her teacher! We are VERY proud!
Hannah completed her sight word program today. She has 220 sight words she can recognize just by sight. A few weeks ago, a list came home with 10 sight words. The assignment was to be able to recognize those 10 words in under a minute. Once we felt she was ready to be tested, we sent the list back and she was tested, if she passed, she was given a new list to study. She has brought a new list home everyday, with the exception of one list this week, and has been at the front of the pack of kids in her class. We will now start back at the first list and she will now need to be able to spell them.
Another academic accomplishment this week was moving up a level in reading. She's getting really good at reading and sounding words out. Which poses as a challenge when we drive past questionable billboards on the freeways, and don't necessarily want to explain what certain words mean. LOL.
We've been talking about what things she'd like to do while on vacation and here is a list of some of the things she's looking forward to:
* spending a few days at Gramie's house
* going to Disneyland
* visiting the pumpkin patch
* going to a couple of her classmates birthday parties
* having a sleepover with her cousin McKenzie
Those are just a few. I'm sure the list will grow as the vacation gets going. At any rate, Hannah is ready for a break and truthfully, I'm looking forward to going and doing things with her home.
