It is totally a Friday morning and I think we all need a weekend. Zoe has been practicing hard for her last spelling test of the school year (what she hopes is her last spelling test ever). I have tried all year long to get her to practice.. in the end giving up on pushing it because I so don't want her to hate learning.. its not a burden... but on the 4th to the last one, she finally was self motivated and she and I have tried hard to earn her a "bravo". She currently gets beginning and ending sounds, sometimes missing a middle double consonant, and often switches letters (like writing "nue" instead of "une"... a french sight word which she knows). By the time we got to school she was quite wound up.. getting quieter and quieter.. It was reading day in class and so Finn and I went in, but Zoe was basically in quiet tear mode.. I tried to get her to cry it out, but she was trying to hold herself together. In the end, she went for a walk with her teacher, and it made my heart ache that she was so upset, but I'm also so proud of her for dealing with it.. she is a fabulous strong willed girl and I'm ferociously proud.
