My Little Over Achiever

Hallie rushed home from school the other day saying, "MOM! Guess what? Mrs. J said I'm like a first grader!" I was surprised and asked what she meant. Hallie then whipped out a worksheet she did at school that day where they had to circle the "Z" words. Hallie showed me the worksheet and said, "I followed the instructions but I wanted to sound out the words and write them too, even though Mrs. J didn't say to do that... I did, and Mrs. J said that's what 1st graders do!"
