Parent/Teacher Conferences

We had P/T Conferences for Hailey and Rion this morning. First was Hailey. Her teacher is Mrs. Lords and she is so happy to have Hailey in her class. Hailey is doing very well, and exceeds the abilities of where she should be right now. She already counts passed 100, which is where she should be at the end of the year, she's naming and writing all of her letters, knows the sounds of most of the letters, rhyming, has begun reading basic beginner books, and writes her first and last name. She scored very high on the beginning of the year tests, so she is on her way! She'll be starting an excellerated program soon with several other students in her Kindergarten class, though she is already nearly passed the rhyming portion of the program. Mrs. Lords says she is a delight to have in the class and the only thing she has to remind Hailey of is to only worry about herself and not about what the other kids are doing. She's a little teacher herself!

Rion's teacher is Mrs. Mullanix. She says that Rion is such a delight, and gets enthusiastic about just about everything. He's a little bit of a class clown, so he brings a smile to everyone's face. On the occasion he does have concentrating issues, she has found that Rion will come up with solutions on his own as to how to correct the problem. She is very impressed with that! So far, he's decided to move his desk away from his friends and has given her his pencil box until he needs it so it doesn't distract him. How responsible of him! Rion is getting A's and B's, and is really enjoying school. His favorite is math, and he's really starting to take off there. Mrs. Mullanix especially likes his Napolean Dynamite costume! She didn't think anyone else in the school could pull that off quite like Rion!

Great job Hailey and Rion!
