I realized how fond Sarah is of grades. She likes As and she will try to do what she can to get one. I explained it was a writing exercise and that I would not be grading it but that would not fly. She Screamed GRADE IT!! I complied and I thought it was a C. By the third draft she was much improved and I was happy to give her an A. I think I have to go out and buy more red pens. Whatever works.....
She also wants to keep her books in her backpack and take it to her room at night. She loves routine, so we will have to keep things very ordered which is inherently hard for me. At first I argued saying, no keep everything in one place and she cried. I had no real basis for my point except preference. Why not?
