A Phoenix Rising-Redefining Oneself

I write this blog because it's that time of year for parent/teacher conferences and progress reports. If your child is struggling in school, please reach out for academic support, my wish for your kiddo is to rise like the phoenix and redefine themselves! I think about so many students over the years, but one student stands out particularly. She came to My Learning Farm for math support. She kept telling me she,”loved school, but hated math because I'm not good at math.” We spent the summer building math skills, particularly division facts and long division skills. She always came ready to learn, but was so timid in her math approach-little by little-her willingness to stretch herself, to tackle more complex problems, to walk and talk her way through them and get the correct results were emerging. Her confidence, scores and abilities kept increasing. On our last session, she told me, “I like math and I’m good at it!” Yes, Ms C-this is for you-you are a division diva, my dear girl! You can do it, you are doing it and doing it well. Redefine yourself as the amazing math student you are and tackle math head on-you’ve got this! Be like the mythical phoenix and rise from the ashes to achieve, to be who you are meant to be!
