My daughter 9, third grade, 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 with principal about skipping 4th grade math, 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?
Also, she was given a square with 65 squares filled in. She was supposed to write a fraction that represented the picture (something she could do in Kinder). So she wrote 60/100 and next to her answer she wrote 13/20. The teacher marked it wrong because 13/20 does not represent the picture. My daughter is trying to show that she is ready for harder work...Yes?
So..stinking hard to watch your child suffer like that.
