Parent Teacher Conferences....

Well, miracles do happen. I wouldn't believe it I didn't see it for myself......
Ry has accomplished something Joel or I never did!

HE MADE THE HONOR ROLL!!

This year the sixth grade teachers are introducing to the students some of the things that will happen next year, like grade point averages. I noticed the list while waiting in the hall for his parent teacher conference....YEAH!!

GOOD JOB RY!!

His conference went great and we could tell that he is really enjoying his teacher this year. It's really cute to watch the two of them tease and interact with each other. All of his test showed that's he's right at where he should be or a little higher. I'm also thrilled that he had no missing assignments, even though he has had some sick days and also misses class due to being a peer leader this year. Being a peer leader has been a great experience this year. It is teaching him a lot about thinking about others first. He's really starting to mature and grow up...too fast!

Then we walked down the hall to Ky's parent teacher conference and found that, she too, is doing very well. During the first quarter of school she mastered multiplication, got perfect 4's (A's...which she was sure to point out to Ry that he got a couple of 3.5's ;) and her test result showed that she is reading at a 7th grade level. Ky is more reserved with her teacher but you can tell that Ky really enjoys the ways her teacher makes teaching fun. They play lots of games and do a lot of hands on activities. Ky also accomplished something that Joel and I never did...she went all quarter without missing a day! I also think her art work is adorable, I love they way she drew herself and answered the statements.....notice she didn't forget the pink in her hair :)
