Conferences and Report Cards

There are two posts today.  I bet you are surprised. Right?  I have been slacking a little!  We have had lots of accomplishments in the last couple of days!

I had Gracie's conference last week for K4.  They don't do a regular report card the first 9 weeks.  I can't believe they have been in school for 9 weeks already!  Mrs. Sherre said that Gracie is an angel and doing great.  She is above average on fine motor skills...writing, coloring, drawing, painting and cutting.  Let me just say that Gracie is the best cutter in the world.  She loves to cut up all sorts of paper into little bitty pieces and tape them everywhere.   She is below age level on math but Mrs. Sherre said that in the last week, she was already doing much better.  She was mixing up the 2s and 5s.  Mommy bought her some flash cards to work with also, and so far she has gotten them all right.  So I am not to worried.  She is age appropriate in reading skills, in fact Mrs. Sherre said that she couldn't believe that Gracie can listen to a story in accelerated reader and get 3 out of the 5 questions correct.  She said that was great!  I told her that Gracie loves to read or pretend to read books.  Last she is age appropriate in all gross motor skills.  Gracie always follows directions. Gracie is also a great friend to all her classmates.  Mrs. Sherre said that she is truly an angel to have and that she just loves her to pieces.  Gracie always has a smile on her face.   The only thing Mrs. Sherre said she would like to see Gracie be more assertive and confident by the end of the school year.  I laughed and told her that I would video Gracie with Colton and Hayden to show that she can be pretty assertive when she needs to be.  Mrs. Sherre said that was great and that she couldn't believe that Gracie would say anything mean to anyone.  I would like to see Gracie more confident by the end of the year also.  She sits back and watches other people so that she knows exactly what to do.  In other words she doesn't want to be the first one or the center of attention.  Which she totally gets honest because I was and still is the same way!  I am so very proud of my little pootie.  She is loving school and so excited about all parts of it.  I love that she smiles and can't wait to tell me all about it when I pick her up. 

Gracie,

I am so very proud of you.  You are becoming such a big girl.  I miss you being my baby but I am so proud of all of your many accomplishments.  Keep on smiling baby girl because that smile will take you many places.  Reach high and aim for those stars baby girl.  We love you to the moon and back and infinity. 

Love,

Mommy and Daddy

Hayden got her first report card for 2nd grade today.   I am one proud Mommy!  She is doing so well in 2nd grade.  Mrs. Howard said that Hayden is a sweet, well mannered young lady.  I love hearing that, it makes me know that Mark and I are doing a good job with our baby.  She also said that Hayden is a good friend.  It just melts my heart, I love her so much.  She is a little peace maker and always wants to be friends with every one.  She is doing great in all subjects.  I know it is really no surprise, we all know that our kids are geniuses.  Hayden truly loves school and Mrs. Howard.  She has gotten off to a great start.  She loves all classes and she even likes doing homework.  She loves to read and do math facts at night even when she doesn't have too.  She loves to play all the math games on my laptop and practice her keyboarding skills for Mrs. Britt's class.  She is the perfect student. She reminds me of myself, I always loved school and enjoyed it. 

Hayden,

I am very proud of you.  I see you working so hard every day to learn as much as possible.  I see you get so frustrated with yourself when you don't truly understand something, especially learning how to count money.  I also see you as the most determined little girl to always figure it out no matter how long it takes.  I love that you always want to be the best at everything, you keep reaching high and aim for those stars sweet girl.  We love you to the moon and back and infinity!

Love,

Mommy and Daddy
