Parent/Teacher Conference

So... Disclaimer.  All kids are special.  All kids learn and different speeds and have different strenghts and weaknesses.  I'm sure your kid is just as awesome as mine.

That being said, it's kind of nice having the smart kid in school.  We had our first parent/teacher conference.  It started at the same time as music class, so dad got all of the generic information.  Reminders of pick up and drop off procedures, fundraising efforts, etc.  I got to the classroom in time for your teachers Ms Bentley and Maestra Ruiz to explain classroom rules, procedures and testing results.  I have to say, you aced your beginning of the year testing.  We're not all the surprised, since you started reading last year in preschool, just makes me all that more grateful for such an amazing preschool program we found (thanks to your Aunt Shondel).  It's worth the 30 minute round trip drive and stressing out over getting Kate on time in the afternoons.

Your teachers both seem to really like you and speak highly of you and your progress.  No issues with discipline, or boredom, or anything.  I asked about books you should be reading, or tips they have to help you with the spanish portion of the day.  They didn't have much to say, so we'll keep doing what we're doing and try to add a bit of Espanol to our day.  

I'm really proud of you, and I hope that you continue to do well and enjoy school as much as you do right now!
