Moving Away
One of the girls that I tutor is moving to Florida! I wish she was staying for a few reasons. One being that she is very sweet and talkative, and a joy to be around. She is involved in dance lessons and has competed in gymnastics meets, almost qualifying to go to state! She was literally one point away from qualifying! And she loves the color pink. Her bedroom screams pink, and her mom converted the garage into a gymnastics practice room, and all of the equipment is pink! Another reason that I wish she was staying is that she is terrible at remembering how to spell! For example, I'll make a list of spelling words, like the one I did this week (I've been tutoring her twice a week) that were all words that end in either -er or -or. Dancer, doctor, and so on. I'll write the list of words in her notebook and have her write them on the same line and say the letters as she writes them. I'll have her do that twice. Then we'll flip to a blank page and I'll say one word...
