School

Doing better about going to school. She has a friend, and even though they got separated for talking too much today (about a spy mission and horse game they were going to play at recess) I can't help but feel happy that she has someone to be in cahoots with. Friday is library day, and she brings a book home. She has Primary Fitness instead of PE, and spends most of her day 'learning to spell new words, and coloring.'

I found this DVD set at the library, and we watched part of it today. Old school animation but its cute and educational. Some good vocabulary and sentences. We'll see if I can stick with it.

So frustrating!!!

"Mom? This really frustrating thing keep s happening at school. When we sing the ABC's the people in my class sing this one part wrong. They say it differently. Let me sing it for you; abcdefg, hijklmnop, qrstuv, w,x, ZED! Can you believe they do that? It is supposed to be (insert entire song here until the last phrase...) x, y, ZEE! How can I remember zee and zed?"

And this lead on and on to a discussion about missing Taiwan schools, American vocabulary, etc...

Pray for Gemma as she struggles daily to recall that 'zee' is the same as 'zed' ;)
