I admit it, I was excited for Ellie's first conference today. I have to watch myself as I am already exerting my expectations of excelling academically on Ellie. I'm not sure if she knows this yet, but no doubt she will. My expectations are high. Today, I found out that she is truly meeting them. I couldn't have been prouder when the teacher told me she is going to move Ellie up to the higher reading group next week. She's reading at level 8, which is the year end expectation. This makes me so proud because this is the thing I really struggled trying to teach Ellie. But with her teacher, she is truly taking off. She's a reason machine and I'm so very proud of her.
The report was very positive. Math "is a breeze" for her says her teacher. Soon she will start teaching a small group some diet grade math concepts. Ellie will be in that. Ellie has a good group of friends and manages to get along with everyone well. She's a star! I am a proud momma! And she's setting the bar high for her siblings. :)
.... That's wrong of me to say, isn't it.
