At the start of summer, I gave the girls 2 weeks to veg out on gaming. After the stress of last year and most of this year at home, I knew they would need a minute to just be and do whatever they wanted. Come week 3, though, it was time to get down to business.
One thing I had to fix, is the amount of time these kids spend at a device. So, they have tasks to complete before they can touch their devices. One of those tasks is completing a math assignment page and writing prompt. This is really beneficial for Thing 1 since she is in Gifted Education. She needs to be well equipped for Honors Math. Junior High in general, is no picnic. It will be challenging and I want her to be prepared. Sydney will benefit most from the writing. She DESPISES writing. It shows in her penmanship. I want to make sure she is prepared and doesn’t get assignments returned to her because her teacher could not read it. I also want her to slow down long enough to care about upper vs lower case letters.
So, today’s writing prompt was, If I could get a dog… This is what Thing 2 wrote…
#THISKID
I don’t know what I am going to do with this kid! I was speechless! How can you challenge her creativity here? I couldn’t even comment on the capital letters. This girl gets a pass today!
Well done, my child! Well…DONE!
