Mom? What's a difficult child?
K is studying poetry in school right now. She seems to really like it. She had 2 books from her teacher of funny poetry over the week that were funny poems. She absorbed them. Read them each over and over
Yesterday her class was watching "The Snowman" I think it is wordless?
Anyway she was sitting in the dark and her teacher was watching her and she whipped out this little poem....
*******************************
It's Dark
It's Dark I can only see
my friends their too
busy looking at something
else. I wish that they
Would see me.
It's dark
********************************
(obviously her sentence structure is lacking)
Her teacher came running out and gave this to us. She was so impressed by K's writing and how fast she did this. She thinks although, it WAS dark, she has much insight into her feelings.
The school is having a poetry contest and she wants to enter it.
I think this is neat for K, she has never had anything that she has done well at. She has yet to find something that she is interested in.
The other thing that happened last week is that she asked to do one of the solo's in her music class song in front of the WHOLE school. Her teacher said yes and then after the fact we talked about it.
We said either she will do well or she wont... she can only try. Her music teacher feels she has really good pitch and tone. I have no clue????
I am really proud of her. She is basically so far behind in School at this point that it breaks my heart some days, despite the fact that she has such a high IQ. I know somewhere there is something for her.
