Parent-Teacher Conference

Last night Pete and I went to Clifford's first-ever parent-teacher conference. I was a little nervous since I wasn't sure how he's been doing in kindergarten, but I figured if there were any issues we would have already had a phone call from the teacher, right??? The conference went smoothly. There's a few things we need to work with Clifford on at home, such as recognizing lower/upper case letters, the sounds letters make, making triangles and practice counting to 100. Mrs. Castelle showed us his writing journals, which his drawings were impressive (they draw a picture, then write about it). When she went on to describe his personality in class, she only had great things to say about him. She thinks he's a wonderful child, very sweet and very smart. He's very popular in his class; everyone always wants to be his partner. They do a 'reward' system in the class, where the students nominate someone else who they think deserves it. I guess Clifford is always selected by other students, and the teacher has to try to get the students to think of someone else as well. She said Clifford is always willing to help other students, even if he wasn't asked to. Oh, and she also said Clifford can be a bit of a 'chatter box' in class. Haha.
