Thanks. I should tell her to just bring home her journal so I can see what she actually does there. She never has writing homework. I did see one story that she wrote online but it wasn't fiction, it was about something that happened in her life. It made me laugh because she wrote "Don't ask me to tell you what the hell happened after that." She said the writing teacher crossed out "hell" and wrote "bad word". She said "I thought I'd probably get in trouble for that but did it anyway."
I wish I could figure out how to help her or what exactly it is she's struggling with but since she doesn't bring things home, I just don't know. Her second grade teacher did say at the end of the year that her writing does not seem to match how smart she is otherwise, for instance she was writing variations of the same story about her dead cat over and over.
