I know I'm writing a LOT..
But I have to add

My daughter gets a pre-test on 15 words on Monday. She gets them all right and gets 5 bonus word. She alphabetizes them, writes them in sentences and get a worksheet through-out the week. Takes the Friday test and gets them all right again. She has such a hard time motivating herself to do this homework. Yesterday, she did her page of alphebitizing as a mirror image. The teacher will have to hold the page to a mirror to correct it. I thought this would be a good thing to bring to my meeting, as she it shows that she is seeking harder work. Yes? Or does it show she is causing trouble? Either way, it shows she needs SOMETHING! RIGHT?
