ABCs and 123s

Sarahs' teacher Ms.Kimura stopped me the other day to talk about Sarah. She told me that if Sarah doesn't start focusing more she might stay back a year. Sarah and focusing are generally not used in the same sentence. Her teacher asked me to work with Sarah at home with her Math and to try to keep her focused. I told Ms. Kimura that I would try and do what I could. So right after school Sarah has been doing her homework, plays at the playground with her buddies, and then we go home to play school. I think she has just been overwhelmed with the numbers, but she really seems to enjoy writing them out on the dry erase board while looking at the magnet numbers, she even told me that it was fun! We counted to 30, I told Sarah that's how many years old I am and she says "Mom your old!",haha. I hope that the more comfortable she is with her academics the easier it will be for her to focus on them. I am a little disappointed that her teachers for the past two years have been brand new, but I can't change that, I can only be there for Sarah and hopefully next school year will be better with a hopefully more experienced teacher. Above all Sarah has an amazing determination, a drive and energy that will take her far.
