Dan & I were so excited tonight to go to our first parent/teacher conference! A little strange feelings, but still exciting. I couldn't wait to here what they had to say about Katelynn. The teacher had a little book that was made by Katelynn and all about her, it was so cute. The funniest thing was her favorite food she listed was a Plum. Funny because she has never eaten a plum here. I have bought them before and she had absolutely no interest in them. I wonder if was because it was a circle, which she can draw, and purple, one of her favorite colors. She did amazing on her little score sheet and had almost all A's (Always!) and only 3 S's (Sometimes). She even had some A+ on her sheet for exceeding the expectations! The teacher told us how well she did joining the group mid-year and how mature she is. She also said how well and mature her speaking and language skills are. She told Dan and I that we have been doing a very good job with her. I did ask her if our school district didn't have such an early cut-off date for Kindergarten enrollment if she would be ready for Kindergarten and she did have to say for the most part "yes", she probably would be ready and do fine, but that there was no need to rush her into it. She did say that she hopes that she will continue on her learning path and that she hopes that when she reaches Kindergarten that she won't be bored and the school will work with her to keep her involved and busy.
We are so proud of our little girl! She was excited when we came home and went through the book she made us with her. Later she got a special treat - whatever she wanted - she picked a marshmallow (a girl after my own heart!) and received some computer time tonight. What a treat to have a glowing review and a little pat on the back that we have been teaching her good and picking good providers that help her as well.
