I haven't given a Jayda quote or story in while. This one happened on our way home last night.
She is in 1st grade as most of you know, and they are learning how to read. She's doing well and her teacher says she's "Doing Great!" But I catch her guessing words, rather than looking at them and the letters within. She has a friend in her class that is probably at a 3rd grade reading level. She's a very bright little girl who LOVES to read. So apparently Jayda frequently asks her for help when she can't figure out a word.
On our drive, Jayda said, "I get so mad at Emery when I ask her what a word is, she just keeps going and reads the whole sentence. And I only wanted help with that one word."
So I said, "Well just cover the rest of the sentence with your hand and ask her what that one specific word is."
She thought about it for a second and replied, "You're eviiiiilllllll!"
What? Evil? Uhm clever or creative or resourceful. But not evil?! Sheesh.
