Learning Curve

So Abby had been having a little trouble with her school work. I had spent so much of the first semester helping Sam stay on track and trying to keep Jake out of trouble that when I finally really sat down with Abby and her homework, I was a little alarmed. It was hard to tell if she was being coy - please don't be one of those girls who thinks she needs to act dumb - or if she really was struggling with some basic math and reading.

After talking to her teacher and my sister, we started using an online program to help her. And sure enough she pulled herself up. Just the other day she was doing an online math test and she finished with a perfect score.

"Yay," she said. "My math is getting gooder!"

On to grammar ....
