First grade

I hope I don't jinx it but Av's work has been coming home perfect!  She has really stepped up her game it seems.  This is what came home in her red folder Friday.

Little hard to tell but the above pic has 10 samples of her work and they all have stars or good jobs on them.  This is every paper that was in her folder Friday.  I didn't leave anything out.  It is 2 spelling tests that are 100%, 2 math papers and one includes a math story problem that she wrote out, one science worksheet, one sheet she wrote 4 sentences on it about community helpers, one reading worksheet, and 3 writing/spelling practice sheets. She is amazing.

The best part though is this came home Monday!!!

Notice that 100%!!!!  This is on a AR test.  AR stands for Accelerated reader.  It is a computerized test they take on the library book they check out each week.  We read it and read it and read it and then on Monday they sit at a computer and take a test on the book.  She did amazing. This is only the second one she has taken.  AR is new for the first graders so they didn't do it in the first 6 weeks of school.  The first one she took she got 3 out of 5 rights.  So this is something we really worked hard on this week and a goal we worked towards.   I literally jumped for joy when I saw this.  Her and I work sooooo hard each week.  I can't even tell you how many hours we put in.  Yes I do a lot as we are constantly going over stuff, in the car, on the way to the bus, in the bathtub, but the rest is all on her.  She works her little butt off and I am soooo proud of her!!!!!!

E in the halloween parade

My little fireman.  He looks thrilled doesn't he???  heheheh He stayed in the wagon though, which I was very surprised to see.  I thought as soon as he saw me it would be all over.

C's field trip

It was not her first field trip (last year was) but her first time on a school bus!!!!!!!!!!  Which I think was more exciting to them than the field trip.

            Her class.  Sophie, Camille, Layla, Max, Adam, Austin, Carson, Noah, Blaise and Josh

              "Mom, I need to find the smallest pumpkin...ever."

              She LOVED feeding the goats.

Sunday

I wanted today to be super fun.  I wanted it to be a day of fall family fun.  Popcorn ball making, jumping in leaves, booing the neighbors, pumpkin carving, Casper movie watching type of family fun.  That was not the reality.  The reality was a very tired fam of 5 trying to have fun.

  They were done making the popcorn balls before they were all made.  Neither of them would try one   of them.

                   Buttering the hands

         Don't you just love her hair.  hehehe

       
 Booing the neighbors!!!  This part was fun but it took like 5 seconds.  We dropped these baskets off, rang the doorbell and ran.  The person that has been booed is supposed to then boo another neighbor.  We will see.

                               Caroline and Lilly- their mom caught us. hhehhe

                    Alison and Aaron

  When it came time to carve the pumpkin J and C got in a huge fight over shoes.  C went running to her bedroom and I got mad at J for picking a fight with her.  Didn't want C to miss the carving over shoes.    He got mad at me and then went to get C.  Av and I went out to start carving.  Av started crying bc it was cold.  She was mad we were making her stay outside.  None of them would go near the "guts."  hehehhe fun times.

                E said, "can I carve my pumpkin?" hehehheh  Poor buddy only had a gourd.  It's what he picked at the pumpkin patch though.

           We moved it inside for the carving.  They helped him pick out a cat to put on it.  One of the hardest designs they could have picked.  Then they sat and watched/helped for about 2.2 seconds then back to fighting.  I took them up for a bath while he finished it.

       J surprised me with the back!!!  Very cute.

The leaves were fun for a few minutes and C like Casper.  Av complained the whole time.
Bedtime was rough too.  Glad they are in bed!!!!!

Halloween party

Was a BLAST!!!  We were there from 4 to 11.  C left in tears bc she didn't want to go.  It was sad but way past time.  I was sick on Friday when I was supposed to go get J and I's costumes and it was supposed to be cold so J and I pulled off another last minute halloween costumes.  I think we did pretty good!!!
