Lexie's grades were not so hot this last grading period. It is due mainly to her horrible handwriting. She avoids writing as much as possible and when she does write, its almost illegible. She has not been getting credit for some things because the teachers can not read her answers. Spelling is an issue as well. She is practising writing (its actually printing) each night by copying stuff I give her. I have been getting paragraphs off wikipedia about various animals. Now if she can just do as well in class, she should be ok. Last week, she had a science project due. She timed a trained gerbil through a maze and then an untrained gerbil. The idea was to prove her theory that the trained gerbil would be faster at finding the food than the untrained gerbil. Even though her experiment was unsuccessful she still got fifth place out of her entire grade. That was over 100 kids! Pictured is her ribbon...
