First grade means business. Not only is there daily homework in several subjects like math, reading, spelling and writing, but there are real exams! And quarterly report cards! I know I will laugh about this one day when Lauren and Elizabeth are applying to colleges or trying to land their first job out of college, but man, I am feeling a bit of nerves. Last Fri, September 27, 2013 Lauren took her first spelling and math tests. She got a 100% in both. We celebrated, of course, but I know they will only get harder from here. I hope Lauren never loses her love of learning and excelling. I love seeing that innate ambition in everything she does. I'm so proud of you my big girl!
