So this morning was a busy one, I had all three girls parent/teacher conferences. The first one was at 7.30am. I got a babysitter for my 3 but of course Hailey chased me out of the door screaming so I took her, then I had to pick up my daycare kids so they joined me too. Luckily they were reasonably good but Hailey, same old story:) Not sure I like being this busy anymore, cant people just pay me and not make me work??
Anyway....... Masie's was first so lets start there:
First she is doing really well and the teacher said she is so smart. Her strongest subject is still Math and she flies through all the problems. Her beginning of the year test were great
Math: She needed 177 and she got 189
Reading: She needed 167 and she got 182
Her strengths are coins, time by the hour and math facts, comprehension and using strategies.
Area's that need work are time by half hour, writing number to 250 and writing stories with 'first, next and end'.
She is having trouble with her grids, they are empty and she has to start from 300 and get to 500 in 10 minutes. Also she got low on her reading but I think they are rushing the kids and making them panic, maybe it will be beneficial later but it seems too much right now. They get timed to read a story they have never seen before and she got 26 words in a minute and needed 44, but we have done this at home and she is so worried about the time that she stutters on words she wouldn't normally have a problem with. At the end of this year she needs to be reading 90 words per minute.
Mrs Miller says that she is a joy to have in the classroom, she has never moved her clip and she has a kind heart. Great job Masie.
Taylor was next:
Mrs Tade is so impressed with Taylor and loves having her in her class. She has started to open up more and join in with group discussions. She has a few good friends and her confidence is growing. She has never moved her clip and loves to make everyone happy.
She is getting better at writing her name in the lines provided.
We need to work on her numbers and her letters, she is at the right level right now but she is expected to know all the letters in the alphabet upper and lower case and recognise number 0-20 in any order by the next test. We are off to get flash cards tonight I think.
Math test- she needed 150 and got 141- I thought this was really good.
Reading- she needed 148 and got 148.
Over all me and the teacher are VERY pleased with her. Mrs Tade said she loves that Taylor really takes her work seriously and wants everything to be just so. Taylor is so proud that she can spell 'See and No'.
A great conference, Well Done Taylor.
Okay Hailey's turn. (Did you just smile)
Well, Hailey is the total opposite at school than she is here. She is a star student and very well behaved. They are so nice in there but they are very strict, I love this and think it has done Hailey the world of good.
Her picture Vocabulary is at a 5 year old level!!
Her Verbal direction is at a 3 year old level.
She can only recognise circles and squares and blue, greed and red. She know way more colors than that but if she doesn't say the right color first in all 5 tests (done at different times) they don't mark it.
We need to practice coloring in the lines.
Her speech is coming on good, she still cant put 3-4 words together clearly but they are working hard with her.
So doesn't socialize with the other kids very well and much prefers to be with adults, Mrs Carr said she would be just fine sitting and playing by herself all day.
So overall great feedback for my little Devil. Good Job Hailey.
