Parent Teacher Conference

Can I just start off saying that I love Lily's teacher? She is so wonderful. I love conferencing with her. We started this afternoon with me begging her to move with Lily to the second grade so she could keep her for next year too. I think it's only fair since she's only been teaching at this school for half of the school year.

Moving on... Lily is a smarty-pants! Hooray! It feels good to have someone else praising my child. I am just so proud. She told us that Lily has been really helpful in resolving conflicts in class. She helps other kids feel better when they're being picked on. I'm so proud of her!

Lily is also improving in math. At our last conference Lily was struggling, mostly with her confidence in math. She'd just call it "hard" and would not try very much. Something clicked and now she's not so afraid of it.

Lily is ahead of the game in reading. Her teacher Lily has hit a jump and is improving visibly every day!


The beginning of this school year was really rocky for us and Lily. Since we moved and changed schools in September. Then Lily was put into a class with a teacher who quit only three weeks later! The school was taken by surprise and had to hire a long-term substitute while they looked for and hired a new teacher. The new teacher wasn't able to start until November. But we love her. With all this turmoil you can see why Lily struggled for a while, but it seems she is back up to speed and will be more than ready for second grade.
