Parent/Teacher Conference

Today was our first parent/teacher conference for Ava.  I'm always amazed when we do something for the first time that 1. the girls are old enough for it and 2. Matt and I are old enough for it!!

Ava's report from her teach was top notch!  She is making a lot of progress and doing very well in school.  And her teacher loves her~but who wouldn't??!!!

We learned that Ava is one of the youngest in her Pre-K class.  Socially she likes to play by herself more than some of the other kids, but Mrs. Mittlieder assures us that is normal and that she'll start playing more with her friends by Spring conference.  Ava also struggles with problem solving at times.  If she's asked a question she's not sure of the answer, she'll often tap her index finger on her chin and say, "hmmmmm".  It's actually pretty funny!  Not sure where she learned that.  But if she really doesn't know and gets frustrated she'll often start crying instead of asking for help.  Again, age appropriate and something we're working hard on at home and at school.  Ava is doing better than average with knowing and recognizing letters and numbers.  She's also great at classifying items and identifying patterns.  She's doing really well with writing her name too.  So, all in all she's doing great!!  Keep it up Ava girl!!
