I am literally writing this through tears right now. Last week was a rough one as far as spelling tests were concerned. They were working on the “th” sound, which for Ruby is still the “f” sound due to her speech sounds. So for instance “with” for her was “wif” when she sounded it out and tried to spell it. She was shutting down at home and at school bc it was hard and confusing for her. I was worried it might be a trend, and we discussed only working on 2-3 words this week to help her be successful and build her confidence. But once again… this lil lady blows me out of the water and amazes the crap out of me. The sound this week was “sh” (which speech-wise she has) -and while I started with just 3 words, she showed me SHE wanted to do more…and that she COULD do more. I was going to try and back off at home because I didn’t want to stress her out, But SHE asked me every night to work on them.
And you guys…I got this picture this morning. Ruby did ALL EIGHT spelling words and only missed ONE! Instead of “hush” she wrote “hash”!!!!
We work hard, ya’ll. It isn’t always easy, but time and time again she proves to me that IT’S WORTH IT. SHE is worth it. High expectations = Exceeded expectations. So proud of this girl ❤️❤️
Happy Friday!!!!
