Conferences

While waiting for our turn at 1st grade conferences today, I took these pics.

This was done by Amelia about Presley.

Presley completed this about Amelia.

Presley is the 'Apple of the week' this week. So she gets to share about herself, be the line leader (I guess this is a very big deal in 1st grade!), have lunch with the teacher and a friend and read a book to the class (my kid?). I was glad she had this week so we could check it out while we were there! She took our family picture from Sam's wedding, a picture of the kids from Holly's wedding and her preschool class picture!

This is a little hard to read but two of the things she said were "A special place I would like to visit....Paris" (she knows nothing about the events in Paris, she just wants to see the Eiffel Tower) and she said "I wish......I could always be the apple of the week" HA!

Anyways....Ms. Mulholland said she is doing great! Her reading score was a 447 and they want them at 434 this time of year. She said she needs to focus on understanding what she is reading and slow down! We've been working on this alot with her at home. She loves reading and she can read really fast, but that doesn't do you any good if you aren't comprehending it. So this was NOT shocking to us at all! And she said she is starting to volunteer and participate a little more but is lacking self-confidence....which, hello, this is Presley! Our shy child who never wants to do anything the wrong way! So this was totally expected also. Overall, she is doing exactly what she should be with no issues!
