100th Day of School!

Last week, Harper celebrated the 100th day of First Grade!
Wow...time flies (I think that would be a great name for this blog...because I didn't post at all in January...shame on me!)
Just a few things about Harper's school and class to celebrate this milestone.
-Harper is reading!  They just started AR reading tests this semester and they have some great prizes if they pass the tests.
-Harper has a 10-word spelling test each week.  She loves spelling!
-Her class has started doing timed addition and subtraction tests.  The time thing stumps her, but slow and steady wins the race!
-She loves to eat in the cafteria, but lately has taken a liking to packing her own lunch.  She usually includes a peanut butter and honey sandwich, BabyBel cheese, craisins, fruit (blueberries or strawberries) and a small piece of candy.
-She checks out two books from the library every day.  She loves to check out the "science" books about snow or animals, etc.
-Richard does homework with Harper each day after school.  They work on spelling, math and any worksheets that are sent home for homework.  I read with her each night.  She usually reads to me first and then I read to her.  We just finished the Ramona Quimby collection and are working on Junie B. Jones and Judy Moody.
-Cool tidbit...Harper's 1st grade classroom is the same classroom I was in for 1st grade!  Love that!
Yea, for 100 days of School!
