Update on reading
Nov. 3rd, 2011 04:33 pmSo, yesterday I totally forgot Evangeline's homework book at home. So I left an hour early to pick her up, and brought it with me!
Two things I saw when I saw Evangeline: First, she looked incredibly lethargic and bored. She perked up as soon as we left the school at dismissal. Dear god, is she ALWAYS like this in school? If so, I understand much more... but this raises SO many new questions! I'm definitely snagging a spot at the "visit during the school day and see how we teach!" thing if I can't make Jenn or 'dul go.
The second thing I saw was her teacher, who wanted to tell me they'd found the doctor's note that they thought we didn't send in. And she told ME that the problem with Eva's reading is she can't (or won't) retell the story after. And also she's not doing her work.
On the train today, I tried her on Frog and Toad are Friends, a book Eva has read once just before school started and that nobody has ever read to her. Had her read me the whole first chapter on the train. Had her retell the story. And... no problems there other than the ones I already noted.
So I don't know what's up with that.
