School Days

We had parent/teacher conferences yesterday. I got to go to 4 of them this year. All the kids are getting wonderful grades and all the teachers had very positive things to say! Very nice! Tabitha's teacher was funny because she is thrilled with how well Taba has adjusted to the new school/class. She did say however that she may have to change the seats around however, because Taba might be adjusting a little too well to the kids sitting next to her and she is becoming quite social. I was almost happy to hear this however, because Taba's inclination used to be to just stick her nose in a book and forget about the rest of the world. Taba did set and meet her reading goal for the quarter at 65 books compared to other kids' 5 books. Quincy's teacher feels like he is really, really smart and wants to enroll him in a Gifted/Talented class through Purdue. I haven't discussed it with him yet but it seems like a great idea so he's not bored and restless. Max's teacher loves his enthusiasm of course, and loves to see his excitement when they learn something new. Max is just really into reading lately and has really hooked on to the concept of sounding out words and wants to do it constantly. Calvin is just such an easy, mature kid that his teacher says that he will never have any problems with the work given him. She knows she can count on him to know what is going on and to have the right answer when no one else does.
