yes! 65/100! lol
AND she did the mirror image thing in cursive as well. She has just gotten the "go ahead" to do some work in cursive, even though it was part of her first grade work and was required in 2nd grade...
Belle. I asked to have her do something else during cursive instruction and got "she needs to prove to us that she knows OUR way of writing cursive!" lol as if....
But in general, I want my daughter to learn good study habits. I don't want her to get the idea that just because she knows something already, she doesn't have to do it. In the long run, she will have to do stuff she already knows how to a million times and if she doesn't prove that she can do it, she will never be offered harder work. unfortunately.
So, I have her plug away at the words she already knows. Sometimes she makes sentences that are Harry Potter themed. Or she makes sentences that are pages long. Or she makes the rhyme or she tries to see how many words she can fit that start with the same letter as the spelling words. This at least makes the assignment less boring. I Do wonder what will happen when the teacher sees the mirror image..lol
Another story.
DD finished her math class work really early. After giving her everything they had, the teacher climbed up to a locked cabinet to get something for her to work on.
It was decimal work. The class was not taught how to do the work in class. So, DD hid her text under her desk and looked decimals up in the index. She went to the page, read it and did all the problems right.
I asked her if the teachers knew that she had to look up how to do it. She said "NO! I hid my book. If they thought I didn't know how to do it, the would take it away!"
I don't really need to say how wrong that it..right?
