AR Test & Hating Math

Alexis did a wonderful job on her last AR reading test covering the comprehension of, A Bed For Winter.   By the way, she made 100%.   She has since, started a new reader, Captain Pepper's Pets. This book is more challenging with a bigger vocabulary.


Alexis has been struggling with math.  Sometimes she gets it, most of the time she just can't grasp the concept.  We are experimenting with different ways to teach math to her.  I know it's going to click soon for her.  One day  everything will start to make sense for her and she will just "get it".  Alexis has also been learning word problems, the human skelton, different types of deserts, how to read a map legend and counting coins.   A 1st grader definitely learns a lot these days.
