The week before school, we met with Aurora's teacher, Mrs. M. I was very impressed by her. She was very organized and upbeat and was great with Aurora. She did a reading assessment on Aurora and she is reading at a third grade level, which is great! She also told us about a few things that Aurora is excited about. The kids all get hot air balloons that they get to raise every 100 minutes of reading they do. When they reach 1000 minutes they get prizes! They also have a chance to earn 'behavior bucks' for making good choices. If they don't make a good choice, they have to give one back. They can spend their 'bucks' in the classroom store at the end of the week for candy or small toys. It sounds like a lot of good incentive!
The Friday before school, my mom and I took Aurora to lunch and clothes shopping. We found a lot of great outfits for her to wear, and discovered that Aurora looks great in hats!
On Monday Aurora was excited to get all dressed up for the first day of school and had a great day! She discovered she had a few friends in her class that she already knew, and she even earned a few behavior bucks. Hopefully it will be a great year!
