"Do you like to step in poop?" And that is how the little woman's opinion writing starts. The opinion is which is better for a pet, a dog or a cat. Now I could tell you right off the bat that the little woman likes cats. But I did not see her humor about it, nor did I understand how her art talent was going to show itself in writing.
I had my parent teacher conference with her teacher and her reading intervention specialist. The little woman has made great strides since the beginning of the year. She is maturing and that is allowing her to settle down and focus better. And once she figured that out, it is just all coming to her. She is improving so much in math and reading. Her teachers told me that she is almost at benchmark for mid year and it is just a few weeks past mid year. She is so proud of herself.
Mrs. C also shared the little woman's paper on why red is her favorite color. One reason is because strawberries and cherries are red and she can't imagine a world without them. Just amazing how her thinking is now. I'm so proud and impressed. The little woman really loves school. Maybe that is why she plays teacher and student with the little man so much.
It was a super positive conference and I was pleased. I'm glad that what I see at home is actually just a little of what her teacher sees at school.
