Kylie's Parent Teacher Conference

Brett and I met with Mrs. Moore, Kylie's teacher, this morning. She had nothing but wonderful things to say about Kylie. Her report card came out last week - all 3's, which is the highest grade. Mrs. M said that Kylie is very eager to help in class, is friendly with all the kids, picks concepts up quickly and is very sweet. She actually said that Kylie could probably teach the class one day and the kids would learn that same as when Mrs. Moore teaches!
I was pleased to also hear that her school does SST, which is where the kids are broken up into smaller groups based on their individual learning level. Kylie is in the top group. So several times a week, Kylie and the other kids in her level are taken to another station with the school counselor and works at learning more advanced concepts. Kylie's talked about SST but couldn't really explain it to me so I'm very pleased that her school does this. I was worried at the beginning of the year that Kylie would be getting bored quickly but she isn't.
Mrs. M also wants Kylie to start a response journal between the two of them. Mrs. M will write a few sentences and questions in the journal and Kylie can write back to her that evening. I think Kylie will REALLY find that fun.
So, basically, Kylie is doing a fantastic job in school!
