Teacher Conference - 1st 9 weeks

I meet with Ms Briggs for Collin's first parent teacher conference this year.  Dad was home watching Collin and a friend so he was not able to make it.

Ms Briggs said that Collin is doing really well, he is such a sweet kid and has a big heart.  Plus, how can you get mad at him when he looks at you with those big, blue eyes?  I told her I know what she means but you have to not let the "blue eye" spell get you.  :)

She started with how he has fantastic handwriting which I knew but am still surprised how quickly it changed to what it is now.  He not only has really nice handwriting, he uses correct punctuation regularly where most of the other students still need some reminding.  Maybe that's because worked hard on this last year when I felt better and thought he might be a little behind from from when I was sick.

When he writes, he does need to work on using more expression.

He is reading at a level 16 which is where he should be for 2nd grade.  She tried the next level and he struggled a little but she knew he would get there soon.  We do need to work on recollection of the story, predicting what is going to happen and answer questions about the story when he finishes reading it.

Overall, he is doing great and is a pleasure to have in class.

Here is his report card:

Her comments are Collin is doing well in 2nd grade.  He is very organized and always does his best on his work.  We continue to work on table conversations.

Here is how Collin thinks he is doing at school:
