It's A Barbie World

Steph, Barbie, Amanda & Me
No, this is not a scene from a B-Rated Movie. This was Barbie/Susie's Birthday celebration. We all dressed up like Barbies and had the best time ever! Our boss, Lare, was Ken. All we were missing was our GI Joe, Tim! Ha. We celebrated all day and laughed a lot. Who says grown up women can't act silly and have a great time!
Camden is still having trouble with Spelling tests. I made him fix his words that he missed. I told him to look at them very closely and figure out what was wrong. I came to check and the ones I told him were right he drew a smiley face beside it. I came back again to see if he got any more right and he told me "those have a straight line instead of a smile. That means confused!" Well, that explains a lot.

Also, he is obsessed with the dog not seeing him naked no matter what. I told him Bentley was a dog and he wasn't looking at him. He said, "Well he has eyes!!"

    Love the Barbie party! You look cute! Maybe you can save your costume for Tim's return :-))

    How does the teacher give his spelling test? Does she read the words off a list? Does she put them in a sentence? Find out how she does it, and then give him practice tests at home. Give him rewards for doing well, but don't punish for mistakes as he is still learning them during the week. I used to tell my boys to make their mistakes at home with me so we can figure out a way for them to remember the correct spelling. That way, they would spell them the right way on the REAL test. Sometimes worked, sometimes not. But doesn't hurt to try.

    Also, is it a timed test? Does he sit by someone who is distracting him? When do you go for conferences? If his tests are an issue, I would ask lots of questions about the environment and style of testing.

    Just some thoughts...

    Love Aunt Sue
