Amen to the organizational skills. DD is 8 in 5th grade and stuggling (in a good building success kind of way) with the organizational things. She has always been organized but now that the work requires thought, and she is used to succeeding with an undisciplined mind, she is needing to step it up. And loving it. For the first time, grades are an actual reflection of work done and not coincidentally, for the first time she is looking at her grades. Prior to this, being a perfectionist, she couldn't look at her grades because it would upset her so much to get a point off. Now, she is seeing points off as food for thought and guidance to improve.
Lovely! I hope you are very proud of yourself for following an unconventional path and finally getting the goodies! Beautiful to watch and cheer from here!
