Jamie B - The phone call at least sounds like progress. Keep after her.

Mom2twoboys - Wonderful that he knew all of the math too. Have you worked at home with him on math or does he just seem to know it? GD understands add & sub. but we haven't worked on much at home now that she has homework (basic K work) every night. She resists all the writing homework. Writing is GD5's biggest problem too but it has gotten so much better. Everything just seems to come in sudden spurts - his fingers will catch up. GD5 just comes up with surprising things such as for homework she was supposed to write words that started with D. Her choice - dromedary. Neither DD nor I have any idea how she knew the word and she told us what it was. We assume she read it somewhere.

Thanks for the words of concern and support.
