Ashlyn's Kindergarten Report Card - 3rd Six Weeks

Ashlyn has sure enjoyed Kindergarten which makes my heart happy!  She has a love of learning and is currently on her fourth sight word list.  Students are given a list of ten words and then once they know all the words, they move onto another list.  We have flash cards at home that she continues to practice all the words together also.  Her teacher, Mr. Stein, has been sending home level D books which is slightly ahead of where the district expectation is for her age.

Ashlyn was working on reading a book for homework recently and realized the picture of the ship was like the one we went on with her Uncle Randy who is in the US Navy.  She was estactic to receive the 100 Words and My Little Pony books for Christmas from her Uncle Randy, Aunt Nikki, and her cousin Sophie along with the Bob Books from us.  Whenever she gets a chance, she also enjoys logging into iStation to practice her math and reading.

Our district uses standards based grading for elementary which indicates what level students are on for specific student friendly TEKS.  I personally love it especially for the younger grades because it helps parents know what their children are working on and where we can help give support at home.  The report cards also indicate which topics will be upcoming.
