Girls

Just wanted to brag a little about my girls. They both are doing well in school both with all As and one B. Katelyn come home and told me she is officially in the highest reading class!! Yay Katelyn. Ashley is reading score/test score is higher than Katelyn's (which makes Katelyn mad that her "little" sister is above her.) Ashley is reading at a fifth grade reader level in third grade outstanding! Ashley is just not very good at comprehending everything she has read. Being able to read at a fifth grade level is awesome but she still has the comprehension of a third grader. She gets really frustrated and I am not sure how to help her. IE at her reading level she is suppose to read pretty long chapter books but by the time she is done with it she does not remember what happened in the beginning or middle. HELP, she is so smart but I am afraid she is going to hate school and decide not to do her best because of the comprehension problem.

A few weeks ago we went to their school's math night where the kids got to play all kinds of math game. Ashley played with her teacher with a money game she did very well. She still is struggling with the idea of money. Katelyn played some kind of game with a classmate and the other childs parent come up to us and told us your daughter is a very smart cookie. We couldnt be happier with both of them. GOOD JOB GIRLS!! We love you and are very proud of you. Yes we still have homework battles but it is getting easier.
