• About

    I’m a wife and mom of two daughters. My daughters are 12 years apart so that keeps me quite busy and a little crazy at times. My life is a jumble of mixed up mishaps, but it’s always centered around my family.

  • Report Card Time

    October 29th, 2008 by Connie Roberts

    Peanut got her report card today and is doing fantastic. I’m so proud of her. She has all A’s and a B in Math and Writing. I was pretty shocked about the B in Writing even when she got her Progress Report as she loves to write and does very well usually. When I called about this at Progress Report time, I was told that the fourth grade is doing brand new things in writing and that most of the students are finding it difficult.

    They are not only having to write longer stories, but they have to understand the type of sentences and writing now. It’s not really grammar but learning how to write statement instead of an exclamation sentence or write three paragraphs as a exposisotory theme.

    When I met with her teacher yesterday, he reiterated that the writing is just tough for them to grasp. The school has a writing coach that works with all of the classes so they get extra help in this area. The reason for more intensive learning in writing is because the famous FCAT is going to focus on these things this year.

    As for Math, he did recommend that she gets some extra help in school with it. We have been working with her at home, but it’s not doing the trick. Believe me, we’re not expecting her to get all A’s. It’s that she’s struggling to understand the basic concepts of Math and gets frustrated easily. Her teacher recommended the help, not us.

    We instill that she does her best, does her homework and studies. We don’t instill perfection. And we’re very proud of her accomplishments and that she enjoys reading, learning and going to school. That’s the most important thing to us.

      Our elementry school is also focusing on writing this year. It amazes me what a first grader is learning and doing these days!

      I agree with you, enjoying school and putting forth a best effort is most important. It sounds like your daughter is doing great!

      Sadly, I have an English degree and copyright for a living and I don’t know the different types of sentences. If it sounds correct, I figure it is. Haha.

      Sound like she has it down! I taught fifth grade in an inner city public school for several years, before coming home for awhile to be with my own kids. I can testify that the writing DOES change. Students have to know the TYPES of writing and what is required of each.

      If you need any extra help, drop me a line on my blog. Would love to help you~ I really do love education!
