We are always excited when this event comes up! We are fortunate to have three AMAZING kids. We bounced around from conference to conference and loved it.
Carson:
He is making huge strides in his reading so far. Math is his strongest subject. He gets wiggly in class but all he needs is a gentle reminder and he'll go right back to doing what he should be. He works hard to meet expectations on all the activities in class. He is friendly with all the kids and is kind.
Dillon:
The teacher was a little confused with his reading scores in his testing. Some of them are really high and others are low. There is an inconsistency. We figured out that it ties back to the same thing. If he is asked to show text evidence he does really well. When he isn't asked to provide that he kind of cruises through without a lot of thought. It's not a matter of ability, it's a matter of effort. Anyway. He is a great leader and example in his class. The teacher knows she can rely on him to demonstrate good behavior and helps with some of the kids that don't get along well with others. His ability to be a subtle, guiding person that people naturally look to is "a gift". Math and science are particularly strong subjects for him.
Kayda:
With the online grades updated every week we didn't really NEED to go to her conferences. We know she's doing well. We enjoy talking to the teachers though, and she enjoys hearing what they have to say. All six of them had nothing but praise. She's always doing what she should be, she finishes everything early and helps her peers whenever they need it. Her character strong (leadership) class ends next week, the teacher is really disappointed that she won't have Kayda again next quarter. That particular class is part of a rotation to introduce kids to different electives. The choice was the rotation or year long band.
It is always a good day when we get to do conferences for our kids. Someday they may not want us to. For now we'll enjoy it.
