Making choices

Liam let us know he was disappointed in how he did on a math quiz the other day, and on further questioning it was determined that he had rushed through the work.  We discussed taking your time and being careful to check over your work, and tried to reassure him.  I did email the teacher to check in, figuring since I hadn't heard from her it couldn't be anything serious.  As it turns out, he finished a 2 hour exam in 45 minutes and then rushed to get back to reading "Mockingjay."  I can understand; it's a very compelling book.  Nonetheless, I'm glad he has finished it before his actual STAAR exam.
