parent teacher conferences and student of the month!

 

This week we had parent teacher conferences and Hudson received the student of the month reward for cooperation in September! We had the ceremony this week - here is the little man going up to get his reward.



Bert visited the boys teachers and received two great reports!

Hudson knows all of his letter names and sounds, counts from 1-100 and by 10's to 100 and knows all of his shapes. He received outstanding marks in language, math, science and social studies. He is very social, plays nicely with the other kids and is enjoying his new sense of independence. He actively participates, is helpful to his classmate and just needs a little guidance about being respectful and not talking when the teacher is talking.

Ethan had a great start to 2nd grade! He also received outstanding marks in language, math, science and social studies. He is currently in the top math group (93%) and top reading group (92%) in second grade. He is reading 118 words per minute (87 is the end of the year goal). He is doing exceptionally well with his understanding of money. He needs to remember to be patient and use his self-control when he is frustrated. This is something he has been working on since Kindergarten and each year he improves, he also needs to focus on using capitals and punctuation when writing. His teacher thinks he is a good candidate for Mesa's Extended Learning Program. We will learn more about that in the Spring.

We are so proud of both of them!!!
