I could tell Rea thought this seemed impossible. She is the type that she either wants to know something right away, or...pushes it aside. It occurred to me then the importance of teaching practice. There will be so many things that she will need to practice in her life. I wanted to teach her that practice is a good thing...
So every day after school we tackled the list. Little by little... We talked about what it means to set a goal, practice that goal and finally, to achieve that goal. Rea was the first (along with 2 others) in her class to know all eighty eight star words before Christmas. She got to enjoy lunch with the principal and more importantly, knowing that if she practices something and sets goal, anything is possible.
Practicing by the tree:
Celebration lunch!
