Progress!

I'm sitting with my math student while she is taking her Iowa Test of Basic Skills Math test. This is the student that threw tantrums and cried and carried on when coming to school at the beginning of the year--all because of a severe anxiety about math. She came in with a smile on her face this morning even though she knew she would be taking this portion of the test. What progress! I'm sure she won't test up to grade level-- in fact I'll be happy if she tests at a 4th or 5th grade level even though she's a 7th grader. The progress is in her attitude about math and her lack of anxiety! Yayyy!
