Yesterday was report card day. It had completely slipped my mind until The Lass got off the bus and said
"Mom, I have something to tell you."
These are never words that I like hearing though usually they have something to do with a social issue at school.
The news she wanted to share was that her math effort grade had not changed from the S that she received last quarter.
I was stunned. She has worked really hard on slowing down and taking her time. She reviews her work. We believed that "Operation Tortoise" was a success.
As we walked to ballet, I asked her more questions so she decided to just take her report card out and review it. And then I taught her how to read it!!
She now knows to look at the change between the letters in the 2 column and the letters in the 3 column to see how well she did. And... low and behold... she didn't receive an "S" in math but a "G" meaning that her hard work paid off!!
She was so excited and I was so relieved!!
She had an excellent report card - her best this year with wonderful marks in all subjects including the better grade in math (effort) and excellent marks in spelling and writing and reading. It was a wonderful day for her! (And now I don't have to worry about discussing "this year" tomorrow when I meet with her teacher...She gave me an excellent foundation for tomorrow's discussion!)
