He did really well this year. Mrs. Parr noticed that he didn't seem as excited about school. She knew he was reading well so she pushed to be able to test his reading level. They finally agreed to let her test him and he passed with flying colors. He was at a reading level of 2.7-3.8. When lynn talked to librarian at end of the year she told Lynn it was even higher now but not to tell him. He did "walk to intervention" reading program with the first graders instead of with the kindergarteners. Mrs. Parr said this helped and he was excited again. He loves to read and it seems to just click. He loves to push himself at the top of his level. He is excited about first grade. I hope it challenges him a little more.
He did the after school program two days a week this year. Wednesdays so he could play and Thursdays because he wanted to play the violin and they had free lessons on Thursdays. He picked it up quick. At the talent show he played Hot Crossed Buns. He also started piano lessons this year. He likes to take lessons, but not real excited about having to practice at home for 15min/ day.:-) He has already passed what Lynn and I know which makes it hard to help him.
Its been a great year! Looking forward to the next one!
Congrats Ashton!
