Kaylee’s first conference in ‘real’ school!
Teacher was very nice, said some great things
about Kaylee – that she has friends, is ready to help the teacher and her
friends whenever asked and sometimes when not asked. That the only time she is
a bit distracted when she’s supposed to be working independently on work is
when she notices a friend needs help doing it “right” and tries to assist
therefore slowing down her own progress.
She is meeting all the measures the teacher has of where she wants her
and she is ready to ‘pass’ the trimester test halfway through the trimester.
She showed us the book they read and need to pass at the end of the year and we
were shocked that they are going to expect them to get that far. 3 sentences a
page, some word 2 syllable. I can’t believe how much Kaylee is going to learn
this year – and I have complete faith that with hard work at home and at school
she will get there! J Teacher
was very proud of a particular project she had done going taking a suggestion
for alternating colors (an extra idea the teacher said they didn’t ‘have’ to
do) – it was cute to see how into it the teacher gets and how proud she was! I
know Kaylee has a great teacher now for sure! So happy! She said the little girls have a bit of an
issue with wanting to adjust where they are sitting when they see where their
friends are sitting – so they now have assigned spots. She said Kaylee is very talkative in class,
very social and at times “too social”. Which is a relief to me because I was a
very shy kid (had friends, but was quiet) and sometimes it hurts to be so shy.
So I didn’t know how Kaylee would be and I am glad to hear she is probably more
socially like her Dad. (though not cracking as many jokes J) Speaking of her Dad, Eric
has been helping Kaylee a lot in the mornings with her letters and her writing.
He’s intent on helping her as much as he can with whatever she needs to work
on. So thankful! We got some great ideas for ipad apps to work on things with
her more.
-Little words
-Teach me Kindergarten
-Cimo Can Spell
- and some tracing letters one I can’t remember
the name of
So we’ll have to try those out and it looks
like Levi will also have a lot of fun getting to know those apps.
