Parent-teacher conferences

Tess and her best buddy Greta...
Tess's favorite part of school...tetherball!!!
Tess's  first grade class...

We had parent-teacher conferences last week.  I was so happy to hear how well Mrs. Gerhard felt Tess is doing.  She had assessed Tess in September and set goals to be re-evaluated in November...guess what...her October assessment surpassed the November goal!!  She is reading better than some of the kids in her class!  and completely gets addition and subtraction.  I work with her for an hour everyday after school and it is really paying off.  

She loves going to school and is happy to go everyday.  Her favorite activity is tetherball and she tells me she plays it at every recess.  What a big relief to have her adapt so well to school!
