Parent-Teacher Goodnesss

Had our Parent-Teacher Conference with Katherine’s teacher, Mrs Miller, this afternoon.

Okay, so Mrs Miller loves Katherine.  She’s bright, she’s dedicated, she’s a hard worker, she’s smart, she’s nice to everyone, etc., etc.

Then her speech teacher comes in.  Katherine’s a hard worker, she’s bright, she’s funny, she’s lovable.

Then the science teacher comes in.  He wanted to meet the parents of that really cute blonde girl who’s so into science and dinosaurs.

Heh.

Other things we learned:

1. Katherine started off second grade testing at reading as an end-of-second-grade reader.
2. She makes really cool cognitive leaps about things.
3. She is (as noted) nice and friendly to everyone (and is, by the same token, very sensitive and liable to burst into tears over being treated meanly).
4. Her handwriting is amazingly neat.  Okay, proof she’s a changeling, since she didn’t get that from either parent.
5. She’s very good, remarkably good, at math.
6. All her teachers love her.

Not too shabby.
