Kaylee is a super hardworking student. She is meticulous about getting her stuff done, and done correctly. She has us double check her work every night. She LOVES Mr. Linn. His word is scripture. (Or more like her interpretation of his words...) I can't even begin to tell you the "discussions" we've had over, "But Mr. Linn said...." I'm glad she enjoys school and I'm glad she loves her teacher. Mr. Linn's goal is to get them ready for middle school...he has high expectations of these kids...he has quite the system down to help his students be responsible and accountable for their work. I do like him, but his word shouldn't be law...
Anyhow, Kaylee made the honor roll, which to me shouldn't be too difficult especially with how the class is set up. She was 1 of 2 students in her class with a "4.0". They had an assembly to recognize the kids and some parents had flowers or balloons to give to their kiddos. I just thought, "is this really such a big deal?" I am pleased that Kaylee works hard and is responsible enough to get her stuff done, and done well. So, perhaps I should be a bit more, "WAHOO!! Way to GO!!" I'll just make sure to give her more hugs and say more often, "Great Job!!"
