Not so bad for a Monday

We ended the school day with two, actually three very exciting accomplishments.

Avery was selected as Artist of the Day in her art class today. This honor, with its capital letter A cut in a bright shade of yellow is rather sought after by the Baskin girls who love their new art teacher as much as their art class. Reagan was excited to see the 'A' on Avery's shirt and then reminded me she has made E's on every assignment and is growing a bit impatient. Which is probably why she was not selected as the Terrific kid for last week since the life principle they were working on was Patience. Here is a picture of Avery with the piece that earned her the Golden A. Note the use of color, shapes, lines and apples. All part of the past weeks curriculum.

Reagan had her first spelling test on Friday and her second math test as well. She did great! She missed only one question on her math test, which she mentioned on the way home before I got to take a peek at it. And due to her deciding to go the extra mile on the spelling test and learn the bonus words she came home with a 102%. That is one hundred and two percent!! Spring Spelling Bee here we come!! She has already made her flash cards for this weeks words and was able to do them by herself....so we may be up for a repeat this Friday!

They are so smart and so very creative and I just love everything about them, including their new chic looks.
