Conference for K5

This morning was my conference with Mrs. McDaniel for Hayden.  As I said before her report card was great and that is basically what Mrs. McDaniel said this morning.  There are only a few things that she needs to work on and that was handwriting, which she really just started this year other than her name, and number recognition, which I already knew too...we have been working on numbers at home and she still has a hard time with the "teen" numbers.  Mrs. McDaniel told me today that they call 10, 11 and 12 the Tricky Teens in class, so maybe that will help us at home too.  Hayden is doing excellent in Math, which makes me very happy because that was my best and favorite subject.  She said that Hayden is very  conscientious of what is going on around her and I feel like sometimes she is so conscientious that she thinks she isn't doing as well as someone else is maybe.  One of her good friends is already reading on a 1st grade level and I think she compares herself to that, which we don't want her to do because she is exactly where she is supposed to be.  She gets it honest because that is always how I was too. So Mrs. McDaniel and myself agreed that she needs to be encouraged at whatever stage she is at and let her know that she is right there with everyone else and not falling behind.  In fact, Hayden is above some of the kids in her class, not that I am bragging but hey I am one proud Mommy!   The last thing that Mrs. McDaniel told me was that Hayden makes her day everyday with that sweet smile and attitude and that she just loves her, I had to try really hard not to cry...I didn't want to look silly but it made my day to hear how much she loves my angel.  Hayden has the type of personality that will make your day no matter what kind of day you have had!  She is my Angel, Star and Sunshine!!!

Hayden,
