We had Reece's conference with Ms. Foster and all reports were great... shocking, I know! ;) We are still in the "number" system when it comes to grades, and he received 3's and 4's across the board, 4 being the highest on the scale. Mostly 3's, which is "proficient." There wasn't a whole lot to discuss. I guess you have to take that as a good thing... because if there was a problem, I'm sure we'd hear about it.
Ms. Foster left this comment: "Reece is doing a great job in homeroom. He is always ready with a thoughtful answer when called upon. His progress has been consistent across the subjects."
He has Mr. Hardcastle as his Literacy teacher and his comment was: "Understanding the learning objectives and goals, becomes involved with the themes of literacy, and engages with others in an attempt to create a community of learners through sharing and implementation of ideas. Somewhat shy on occasion." (Reece thinks Mr. Newcastle is a pretty cool teacher... I think it's a male thing, because Riley had his first male teacher in 3rd grade and had similar feelings. As great as all the boy's teachers have been, I think male elementary teachers are an important figure in kid's lives. There are kids out there that can truly benefit from that kind of role model at this young age. Mostly those kids that don't have that positive male figure in their home lives.)
Reece wrote this at the beginning of the year. Love the Jayhawk colors and how he spelled "multiplication"...he hears all sounds and that's a tough word to attempt! |
I miss the artwork that came home from McPherson... but I do love the sea turtle that Reece brought home from here. I hope to see more as the year goes on! |
