First Spelling Test

Ok, I'm a mom and since I'm using my blog as a family history of sorts, you'll have to pardon me if I brag just a little bit. Today Zach took his first spelling test - technically his first test ever and he did great!




That's right - that would be a 100% grade on the top of his paper! I know it sounds silly to be excited over something like a 1st grade spelling test on such easy words to the rest of us, but he's so proud and we're so proud of him. These are words he already knows how to read, but has never been tested on writing them. We worked on it all week last week and were so happy to see the effort pay off. When we picked him up, he ran to the car with a big smile on his face and couldn't wait to show us his paper. I know there will be times when he falls sort of perfect, but I'm so glad for him doing so well this first time, it's been such a confidence booster for him!

Way to go Zach - Daddy and I are so PROUD of you!

Yea!! Please keep on bragging! I think it's great to have a public forum where you can give your family members recognition... helps to motivate them to keep doing great :)
