Parent Teacher Conferences

This last week were the BIG meetings! We are very proud of how well the boys are doing!

Bryce: Mrs. Malnack wrote, "Overall Bryce is pretty quiet in class but always has a ready answer when called on. He puts forth his best effort and is a great model for other students." We were AMAZED to read that, but very pleased. She did say, however, that she is starting to see the 'sparkle' in his eyes that we have warned her about. We thought that was a nice way of describing his mischievousness you see in his eyes. She said he is doing well developmentally and knows his letters and numbers. He has started reading groups today and was excited to come home and read to us.

Comptyn: Miss Golden said, "Comptyn is smart. In fact, it's scary smart." She said he probably acts like he isn't paying attention and focusing on things because he knows it already and is bored. She said she is amazed at how well he reads. His reading test that he took (called STAR Early Literacy for those of you familiar with that) and scored 816. It ranges from 300-900. He does love to read! That and the computer! We are trying to work on his writing with a program called Handwriting Without Tears. It is really an amazing program and is helping Comptyn! He scored a 2 (graded on 1-4) when he got a 1 before. So he is getting better!

Ryan: Miss Woods wrote, "Ryan is a hard worker and aa good student. He's a joy to have in class." Ryan's tests are called MAPS scores. In reading he scored 211 - benchmark is 178. In Math he scored 192 and benchmark is 179 and Language he scored 206 and benchmark was 180. He was the only one to his benchmark in language. She was very amazed at that score. Miss Woods kept referring to Ryan as the smart group and how competative they are. They see who can pick out and finish their book first from the library, who can be the fastest in the timed math tests, etc. They have fun, she said, and are good students.

We are very happy they are all doing well!
