Last Thursday we had conferences for the girls.
Presley's teacher has the student present their conferences. It was cute, she had to formally introduce her teacher to us and go thru her papers and progress reports. Her teacher chimed in occasionally and we could ask questions. It was short and sweet. Basically she is doing what she needs to. She has been working really hard at getting her multiplication facts down and had really done a good job over the last 2 months at getting better and quicker!
She was part of a 'math club' that had some extra math practice and she seemed to really enjoy this extra time but she has now 'graduated' from that club since increasing her understanding and knowledge, now onto division!
Piper. Oh this girl. Her teacher loves her and wants to keep her another year. She called her a rock star, a mover and shaker, so sweet and respectful, so helpful and of course, smart. She did mention that she is looking for 2nd grade books to get her started in since she knows all of the sight words for 1st grade. She is fluent and understands what she is reading. She can summarize what happened in short sentences. In math, she just gets it. They really haven't done too much addition and subtraction yet, but she already knows the concept and loves doing math with us at home. Two things the teacher asked....if it was okay to recommend that her and Becca go into the same 1st grade class together?(she said they get along so well, are both so sweet, nice and respectful that she thinks they would thrive with each other again!) and to see what we thought about her recommending Piper for the ELP program (enhanced learning program)?I think the challenge would be really good for her, so we said that it was fine and we'll see what comes of that over the next 6 months.
