Parent Teacher Conference

  • Le gustan los trenes (she likes trains)
  • Le gustan las actividades de movimiento constante como: bailar, corre, brinca, etc.. (she likes activites that move around such as: dance, run, jump, etc...)
  • Es muy independiente (she is very independent)
  • Le gustan las actividades al aire libre (she enjoys outdoor activities)
  • No le gusta mucho compartir los juguetes (she does not really like to share toys)
  • Se impacienta y quiere adelantarse a las actividades (she likes to go ahead before the activities start and we are working with her on being patient)
  • Madeline is a true joy to have in Prescolar. She has such a wonderful presence and we are so happy to have her as a part of our school community.

Last week Kip and I went to Maddie's school for our first ever parent teacher conference. The two teachers and Kip and I all sat in tiny little toddler chairs while they reviewed Maddie's progress and behavior and school. She is doing well and loves to see all of her friends at school. When they gave us the above list we both cracked up at number one. Then cracked up at each one as we went down the list...

Not one of these things surprised us. I do appreciate their criticism sandwich though. It softens the blow of her impatience and lack of sharing capabilites. :-)

fun that you got to attend your first p/t conference -- and were not horrified at the report. I'm sure she is a great kid to have in class, and NO ONE likes to share toys for goodness' sake. PS she looks like an angel in that picture!

far better than our first p/t conference...when we learned that Kip was spending more time outside the classroom than inside (really a kindergartner???) some things to work on, but don't change too much ist what makes our Mads just who she is-delightful.

So cute, so, so cute. These are the times when parenting is the absolute best. And you totally want your kid to be a little bit bad...good all the time would be so boring. Hoard away Mads.
