It's gonna be a short post to summarize yesterday's proud mama moment. I had already had conferences for my junior high-er last week. Summary? She's got a very good understanding of the material she's studying in all areas. The worst problem is that she is so eager that she shouts out in class which can be distracting. All things said, AWESOME. Smart, articulate, sweet child :)
I went last night for the conferences for the other three. My fifth grader is doing amazing. He's very bright, studious and all of that. He's still an 11 year old boy so he horses around occasionally and he's a little emotional but that's who he is. My fourth grader is very well-informed, one of only three kids in his class who is a teeny bit from a bowling (reward) trip AND is a little shy/quiet but is doing well socially. Now here's the news that surprised the crap outta me (and not because I didn't know she was smart or well-behaved...just because it's a big honor). Her teacher told me that she is literally the ONLY child in the class that listens and behaves all the time with no off days. She's a bit of a perfectionist but she is doing awesome....so awesome that they want her in the gifted and talented program. I have to feel like I'm doing a good job as a parent if they're all having such great conferences!
