Student of the Week: Siope Fangupo

Siope was chosen as the Student Of the Week for his class. He came home and filled out his facts without me. He spelled everything right for the most part. There were only a couple misspelled words and I wanted to leave them uncorrected because I thought they were cute, but he got embarrassed and insisted that I tell him the correct spelling. Reading and Spelling are definitely Siope's strengths. He's reading a grade level ahead and it seems to come easily to him. Writing, however is not. It's the 1 thing that has continued to hold him back from receiving straight A's. I know being a lefty can be an excuse to have sloppy handwriting, but we keep telling him he needs to try super hard if he wants to get an A in writing. We took some pictures of him for his little bulletin and I let him choose which one he wanted to paste on his paper. Of course he chose the one of him next to his bike. Most of his facts about himself have remained the same, but there were a couple that surprised me. Apparently his favorite color is now red. I asked him what happened to green, and he said green is his 2nd favorite color. His favorite book is The Book of Mormon, which really caught me off guard. Mote gave a FHE lesson last week for scouts and the kids had so much fun taking turns reading during that lesson. Which I'm guessing is why he put that as his favorite book. His "Proudest Accomplishment" made me laugh. It's totally something he would say... take the easy way out lol. And He's definitely "Happiest When... it's the weekend." =)
