We had Katherine’s first Parent-Teacher Conference this evening. It all went pretty well. The teachers in her pre-school say she’s really smart, has gotten to be sociable and better at sharing, and seems to enjoy herself in class.
The only concern they had is one that we’ve had, too, whether she’s got some speech issues that need to be dealt with, between her stutter (which has gotten better) and some of her consonent formations. She’s a bit young to be assessed, but the teachers think she’s smart enough for it anyway. There’s a program in Littleton Public Schools (where we actually live, though she’s in a Cherry Creek pre-school program) for that sort of screening and assessment, so we’ll contact them and see what happens.
But that aside (and they were pretty positive about it), it went very well. Huzzah.
