It is amazing that school has been in session for 6 weeks already. Kaitlyn is still having a good year, but it is definitely tougher than 2nd grade. Last year there were weekly spelling tests of 10 words, but this year there are weekly spelling tests of 20 - 25 words and also math, science and social studies tests. Kaitlyn and I have been butting heads an awful lot lately because she doesn't always want to study or do her work, but we are working on things. I don't always like to bribe my children, but we seem to be doing it a lot more with Kaitlyn lately.
Lauren seems to be settling down a lot more. She still has some rough days, but many more good days than bad days. I always know when Lauren gets off the bus if she had a good or bad day since she always seems to regret or feel guilty for not getting a punch on her treasure box card (10 punches for a prize). Bribery is a good incentive sometimes!
Alexa is having a great year and always wants to go to school on her days off. She is always singing songs, and some she must have heard at school since I don't recognize them. It is too cute to hear. Alexa does miss her sisters so much during the day and loves to see them when they come home from school.
