A conversation today:Spikes, tossing down his pencil dramatically: Ms. Teachin', this class is HARD!
Me: It is? [Spikes {for his hair} does really well in my class.]
Spikes: YES! I'm always having to THINK and try my BEST and reDO things if I don't get it the first time!
Me: [internal squee of joy, because what a great thing to say?] Well, but you are doing your best and your grades are reflecting that. So I think it's okay.
Spikes, skeptically: I guess.
Then he picked his pencil back up and got back to his self-assessment.
