Parent-Teacher Conference

Amanda went for the conference with Ms Snoots today. Lily is doing very well, as we expected. She is not doing incredibly well, but she is either at or above expectations with everything. She does well socially. She really enjoys "reading" and she does like to write. One of her favorite games at home is to practice writing her letters. She asks us how to spell words and then she writes out the letters. This is good stuff for her.

The goal is for her to be able to read a very basic book by mid-year. Lily has shown a little bit of reluctance to read things on her own. I think it's that she doesn't like to do anything unless she can already do it. Lily doesn't deal so well with adversity sometimes.

Amanda asked about her relationship with Jada at school. Turns out that Jada is the boss at school. We're not quite sure what to make of that. It's good that Lily doesn't try to be the boss all the time. Maybe Lily felt more comfortable with bossing her around here because she was on her home turf and Jada was out of her element. It's hard to say.

The good news is that Lily is doing well, as we expected. They have her doing more advanced work, so she isn't bored. That's all we really want to make sure of. After all, homeschooling Lily would not be a good option.
