Well, T-man has finished the first six weeks of 1st grade. We have already had our parent/teacher conference, and the report has come home. We met with Mrs. S on Tuesday afternoon. She is great person. T-man really enjoys being in her class. So far, we have been very lucky with the teachers that he has been given.
Mrs. S explained the standardize test that they took a few weeks ago. T-man is right on track and can read 30 words per minute. She said this is very good for the first six weeks of school, and will improve as the year goes on. She said that he is a pleasure to have in her class, and he knows to stay away from the kids that do not make the right decisions. (What we say IS sinking in to his little head!)
The report card didn't come home until yesterday, and I already knew what the grades were going to be before it came home because our School District has an online site that parents can log into and see grades and attendance for their children. I happen to be one of those parents that checks on a regular basis. Anyway, I checked the site on Tuesday before our conference with his teacher so that I knew what I was facing. The report card was great except for an N that T-man had in reading. I asked Mrs. S about the N, and she was amazed that I checked the site because she has never had a parent check the site before.
She explained the N and that it wasn't a bad thing. The number grade came out to 72 because of one of their exercised that they did at the very beginning on the year, and non of the kids did very good on it. She showed us that his grades in reading have improved since that first exercise and for us not to worry.
All and all, I feel very comfortable with where T-man is in his learning. even though he is the youngest kid in the class.
