Lesson Comments
Anna screamed today when I asked everyone to clean up after lunch. Ten minutes later, she finally cleaned up her stuff very quickly, stomped her foot and said,"I don't like doing things by myself. Mom wants me to do the laundry - I won't do it!" She was fine the rest of the afternoon. After we read Verdi, her and I had a talk about learning to do things for yourself. When it was time to go home, she ran to the refrigerator and proudly called out "Look, I got my lunchbox and Quinn's too, all by myself!"
