Ricky's First Parent/Teacher Conference

Well, we had our first parent/teacher conference! I was nervous, but it went VERY well! Ricky is in the top 2 students in his class, and the top 10% of his school including both PreK classes and Kindergarten! He is doing things we didn't even know he could do! He is reading, and he is top in his class in math and in writing! He is a quick learner and very eager to learn/try new things! I think that's pretty impressive considering this is his first experience in school and most of the kids have been going there!

She said they had some issues with playing aggressively with the whole class (it is very boy heavy). But that has worked itself out. Ricky is very well rounded, sweet, and considerate of others. He is advanced in his verbal skills, well above his peers, and communicates very well with the teachers and with his friends. Ricky is used as a peer helper in his classroom. The teacher said he has been helping the other students with their math. He is good at problem solving and working out issues independently. He is quite a ladies man! He always looks out for the girls and makes sure they are taken care of! He is well liked, and has many friends.

The only thing he does is if they are doing something he doesn't want to do he tells them no he doesn't want to. She said he does this after waking up from a nap and is tired. Once he wakes up he comes around. She said he doesn't do it often, but he does do it. Sounds like our strong-willed boy! Totally unacceptable to ever do it - we will definitely take care of that! But I do have to say that I am relieved that's the only thing he does at school! She said other than those occassions, he is respectful and polite!

She said all the teachers adore him and that he is really wonderful to have in class! Could we see a little bit of that at home please! :0)

But overall, we couldn't be happier with how he is doing! And we are very happy with Primrose!
