Great ideas, much appreciated. As an update, she told us after dance class last night (at 7:30) that she has two projects due tomorrow (today)! Not to mention, one of the projects, she didn't write down the instructions on how to do so, so she'll essentially be taking a zero on that project.
I sent an email to her teacher and she's going to be sending emails to me when projects are assigned so I can cross-reference whether she put it in her agenda, which I've stressed the importance of that to her.
In your experience, how much can getting caught behind create a snowball effect, seeing as kids are no longer held back a grade? If she's being taught new stuff before grasping the basics, she'll be lost, no?
