Mama brought Nanaw the little purple lamp she bought for her at the dinner auction. It needs a special kind of light bulb but Mama thinks Nanaw can find the bulb at Walmart. When Nanaw picked Chase up from school, he said his only homework was coloring three pages of the Stations of the Cross. He finished his coloring, and then Nanaw had him do his AR reading. Evidently he's supposed to be doing the reading even though the teacher hasn't been sending the tally sheet for AR reading. Nanaw had Chase home by 5:15 so Daddy could take him to the eye doctor to have them work on his sports glasses. Mama told Nanaw Chase's grades from his asynchronous work last week, and the grades were really bad. He got 44% on his religion test -- 13 out of 32. He got 15 out of 20 on math, and the rest of the grades were just as bad. Mama and Daddy talked to him about his poor grades, and he cried. Nanaw told Mama she knows Chase can do better, and that she would make some tutorial note cards to study with him that say: Good Student Practices -- Write your answers slowly and carefully, doing your best writing so the teacher can read your answers. Answer questions with complete sentences. Always check your math. With an open book test, carefully look for the answers and make sure you’ve found the correct answers. Take notes in class. Do your AR reading every day. Earn $5 from Nanaw for each perfect score on a test or homework or worksheet. Every day Nanaw will work with Chase on the note cards and encourage him to be the best student he can be.
