First grade conferences!

Tonight, Chris and I met Mira's teacher, Ms. Lawson, for conferences. We were very happy with the report. Mira is doing very well in letter and word recognition! She can recognize 68 upper and lowercase letters (in no particular order) in one minute. The goal is 37, so she's well ahead of the average. She is also recognizing words beyond the learned reading words. And her math skills are ahead of average too! It was nice to hear that great report.

We asked how Mira is doing socially, and Ms. Lawson said she is quiet! That surprised us quite a bit! Hopefully the spring conferences will be just as great.

The school always has a book fair during conferences. Here is Mira showing her pick, A Diary of a Wimpy Kid book: I took Mira and Amelia to get their hair cut last night. I would only let Amelia part with 3 inches, but Mira insisted on cutting her hair to her shoulders! So she had about 6 inches cut. I was nervous, but it looks really cute and Mira loves it! She showed off her new style at school today and said she got lots of compliments.
Hope you are all having a great October!
