Parent/Teacher Conference

On October 24th we went to Parent/Teacher conference for both of the kids. They are doing unbelievably good at this new school.

Shayna has really surprised me. She is doing so good. She loves to go to school, she has great classmates and her Teacher is AWESOME!! This is the first year that we have not had problems with getting Shay to go to school. Her grades are perfect and her Teacher is even getting ready to test her for G.A.T.E. It stands for Gifted And Talented Education. If she passes the test she will be leaving the classroom for a certain amount of time and going into another classroom for higher education. I couldn't be more proud. What an INCREDIBLE little girl I have.

Britton is of course doing really well. He has made some great friends and also has an AMAZING Teacher. His grades are outstanding and his Teacher uses him as a helper if she is busy and someone is struggling with something. Brittons Teacher said that if he wasn't new to the school and in 5th Grade he would be in G.A.T.E. The reason that matters is because he would need to be tested and he wouldn't actually get started with G.A.T.E until the middle of the school year. And since he will be going into middle school next year there isn't much he would do with G.A.T.E. so she has set him and a few other students up in a group and everyday they work on something above and beyond what the classroom is doing. I am so grateful for this because he isn't getting bored with work and he is getting the higher education that he needs.

Good job kiddos. We are so proud of you!!
