Caroleen’s Treasures

Donald decided that today will be the last day of Ella’s tutorial class. Not that she is doing excellent in reading but we don’t have budget for it anymore. If I were to decide, I would want her to continue it until classes starts on June 1st. I am quite happy with the result of sacrificing to pay for it because Ella could now read. Well not that fast and not that excellent but at least she could confidently take the test on Monday. The reason why we chose to sign her up for a paid tutorial class instead of the free summer class is because we are in a hurry. We are running out of time. The summer class is packed with almost 40 kids so there would be a little chance of her to learn as fast as needed. See, when I brought her to take the Special Education (SPED) entrance test last Monday she could not read a word. Of course she can read some of it but I know she is not so sure of herself. If I would assess it, the test is for the third grade and if only it wasn’t written on the upper portion that it is for the 1st grade, I would have asked the teacher if she has given Ella the wrong test papers. We will let her take the test on Monday and let’s see what happens.
