my first parent/teacher interview

Well, i went in for my first parent teacher interview this morning and i am one very proud mummy! School is a really new and exciting adventure and at times i am nervous that Elliott will not like it/not fit in.

Having gone to 7 schools myself and having memories of not so good days, what i have always wanted for Elliott is a stable school life...1 school, maybe a maximum of 2 if we change for high school.

It is really different being the parent, something i have having a huge learning curve with as well. Handing over the responsibility of my boy to a new person and also accepting that his peer group will play an equal role to me in his life...very scary and bring out my control freak lol!

Anyway, on to my boy and his progress at school......

We looked through his work books and his writing is getting so very good.

He is socialising really well with both girls and boys. He has repeatedly been seen going and helping any child that is sad/crying, once even stopping in a race to go back and help a friend.

He has been placed in the accelerated learning group and has been allocated to a prep class with an accelerated learning focus.

She talked about his humour and his determination and his ability to really focus on an activity and also pause and think things through before leaping in.

I loved hearing how she talked about him, she really seems to enjoy having him there

I am so happy. Elliott loves school and he loves his teacher. We have a big love of learning in our home and it is expanding everyday he is at school!

He has also just gone up a level in his readers!

She gave me 2 things to work on at home....writing his numbers and also his pencil grip....i'll encorporate that into our daily games!

I am so happy for him. I love seeing his happy little face when i pick up after school, i love that when he gets to the car the first thing he wants to do is read his new reader, i love how much he is learning every day and is constant (and now slightly annoying) use of his new word...deciduous! I love that he is making new friends and growing every day...

ahhh...i am one very happy mummy right now!
