School

Every time Jillian is here she asks to do school.  We read for awhile, then we write the letters she has learned.  Of course, rewards are a great incentive but always on the condition that she has to work hard.  She listens real well and always tries to do it right.  But writing is her favorite thing to do.  We practice some letters, then she has to spell some words she has learned to read, and then the last few sessions she has had to write a sentence.  When writing I will put a small star for effort and then a big smiling face if she does great.  For some reason she outlines the words and sentences when she's done.  This is two days work.
