Parent/Teacher Conferences

Today was Riley's P/T conference.  Issue:  both of us needed to go to work!  There were only so many time slots to sign up for so I signed up for 10am in hopes that Jer might possibly be able to do a phone conference.  Which he was able to do thankfully!

Ms. Rashmi, Riley's teacher, is amazing.  As is Ms. Sharon, her other teacher.  The two of them have been a huge blessing this year and we've seen tremendous growth in Riley.

Ms. Rashmi told Jeremy that she was so very sad that we couldn't come in person because she wanted to brag on Riley and show us how incredible her work is.  She was really quite disappointed.  The good news is that we were able to hear all about how she is doing and what she is learning.

She said that she is "this" close to being able to read.  She'll start sending home beginner reader books with Riley so that she can read to us.  Riley has been doing great on sight words and we've known that we're getting closer, but didn't realize how soon it will be!  She also said that she is constantly asking her to write things and tell her how to spell things so she can write.

She doesn't often ask to do math work, but loves writing and reading.  If she is asked to do math, she'll do it.  She said that Riley always follows directions.  She makes good choices.  Ms.  Rashmi said that she is very inquisitive about the world around her.  Loves to share stories about what is going on at home and what she is learning at home.  She said she asks great questions.

Riley knows how to write her numbers very well and Ms. Rashmi said that she is working with her to work up to the 200s because she knows she can do it.  Wow.

There was nothing negative said and nothing to work on other than what we have been doing - writing, reading, counting, IXL, etc...  Ms. Rashmi loves her and is extremely happy with her progress this year.

So incredibly proud!
