Ellie has recently become quite interested in succeeding in school. She has done well in the past, but that has come about through great deals of arguing over doing homework and practicing things she needs extra help with. Over this past month she has done her homework without much fuss and she has also asked me questions to make sure it is accurate - it hasn't just been a rush to finish it! She also became very interested in the solar system unit they were studying. I told her that I made a paper mache planet when I was younger so she set to work to make her own of Jupiter. She even printed pictures off of the internet to use on a poster and to help her paint her planet correctly! This was all extra work that she chose to do! I was so proud of her and she was very proud of herself!! I hope she realizes that if she just puts a little extra effort forward she can achieve great things!!
