Kamdyn, Diya, & Max parent teacher conference

I had the 3 older kids Parent/Teacher conference on Nov. 17.

Let me start off by saying that I have AMAZING children! They are respectful, loving, and just overall awesome kids!!!

Kamdyn's teachers sang her praises. She is a great kid. She is always on task, a total rule follower, and a great student. The only issue was she has become very quiet this year. They would like to see her be more social in class. I spoke with her homeroom teacher first. She said to tell Kamdyn to stay on the straight and narrow. That it will get her far in life. Next I spoke with her social studies teacher. She said Kamdyn is quiet. I shared with her that Kamdyn is intimidated by her. She said because I am loud?!? She told me to tell Kam that "her bark is much bigger than her bite," and that she "was raised in a family of 5 kids. She had to be loud to get heard." Her science teacher also spoke highly of Kamdyn. Kamdyn's only B was in this class. Kamdyn struggles to hear this teacher. She is very quiet. Overall a great P/T conference for Kam!

Diya's teacher is a hoot!!! She is so lively, and so incredibly loving! She shared that Diya is a social butterfly. She does well socially! Her reading has improved from approaching grade level to at grade level. She loves to write! The comment on the report card from the teacher's comments area came straight from Diya's mouth- That her favorite part of school is writing. She loves that she can write about anything that she wants to. She would like to stretch out her wording a bit better. =) Diya's teachers shared a few other things...cute stories with me. She is very loved by her teacher and classmates! Again overall a great P/T conference for Diya!

Max's conference was great! I really enjoyed talking to his teacher! She told me that Max is just so funny. She said she bets our house is so fun and lively! She shared with me that Max is always telling her funny stories. She said she laughs so hard at him. She said that the boys in the class have taken to "hard taps/almost slaps" to get others attention. She said Max has been guilty a few times. All the teacher has to do is give him the stink eye then he stops and resumes his work. She said that his Kindergarten screening tests were good. He should have tested at 10 on an alphabet recognition and he scored a 20. On the phonics portion he scored a 6 due to his speech. Max is on an IEP for his speech. He gets speech class 1 time a week. She said in the last 3 weeks the teacher has seen a great improvement in his speech. So we are hopeful that he is doing well. Again another great P/T conference. =)

I am so thrilled with my awesome kids!
