FIve Minute Award

That is just great! Glad to hear your granddaughter is doing so well. And in math too. I was horrible in math. English was always my subject. My grandson is good at math too. He just gets bored with all of it.

My kids had those too. First addition, then subtraction, etc. I don't think any of them ever got an award for it.

This must be exciting that they are going to have her start doing 3rd grade math. Math was not a Good subject for me until like 8th grade or so. I struggled a lot with it, but do OK with it as an adult. I am sure your Granddaughter will be a lot more happier with this as well.

That's wonderful Lakota. That sort of thing does a kids self esteem a power of good. In my opinion , the school system here is dependent on how dedicated the teachers are. The kids at our local school are learning very little.

That's great! I think that alot of times that some children get bored if they are a little faster at learning something or are a little ahead of the class. It's good to keep them challenged without overwhelming them.

Wow that's great, congratulations, i am sure she will shine soon, wish she will be a scientist lol.

I think that is great that they are making sure she can do the work but that they also will be challenging her with new work. I hope she keeps it up.

She sounds that she is really good at math. Good for her.

That's awesome! It's always great to hear about little ones who do so well. It makes me think the future our country isn't as bleak as they like to make it sound.

My kid is pretty good in math, and he never got an award for it either. That might motivate him to stick with it and do even better.

Good for her. My grandson had straight a's on his report card yesterday. I know we are both proud of both of them. Hope u are feeling better.

Hello my friend Lakota12 Ji, Well, heartiest congretulations from my hubby as Math is his allround favourit for him till date. But he further says taht child should not be jumped to next class, even teachers advise, as child will maintain her brilliancy in study. Take care. May God bless You and have a great time

That is good, she sounds like a smart young lady. I hope she stays interested in math. If she gets bored, she might lose interest. There are ways you can do to help her to stay interested in math. A suggestion is to find her some math puzzles or math problems online to do, just extra fun challenge quizzes and activities for her to do. Or play some math games with her. Here are some websites with online games for children. I hope them help your grand-daughter. http://www.knowledgeadventure.com/grade/2nd-grade-games.aspx http://coolmath-games.com/ http://mathandreadinghelp.org/online_games_for_8_year_olds.html Sounds like your grand-daughter likes to be challenged and is a very bright girl.
