Parent teacher conferences

Michael and I went to parent teacher conferences this morning.

Miranda was first. She is going great.  "Like a puppy dog wagging her tail at every morning eager to see everyone and learn."  Doing well in math, reading, and writing. All around...super.

Elizabeth was next. Also doing very well, as expected. A bit stronger than Miranda in reading, but not much. Likes school, behaves, enjoys it all, etc.  "She's delightful!"

Parker was last and took the longest as his math specialist and the principal joined us.  The meeting was to make a plan for him.  It was decided that he would not to do the standard curriculum. They assessed him as knowing a lot, but not all of, fourth grade but were hesitant to just work through a different "work book" with him because that wasn't very interesting. They are going to delve deeper into certain topics and look at things more conceptually. Parker will always have the choice to work with the class or do his own thing. We asked that his status be documented in his permanent record somehow and they agreed this was a good idea.  We left satisfied with the plan.

I guess our kids are doing all right.
