Teacher Conference

I went in for the parent-teacher conference on Thursday. It's amazing how Lily's teacher perceives her in contrast to how she is at home. She had some of the same concerns we've seen in that Lily sometimes has trouble staying focused when there are more interesting things to do. She also is a bit sloppy and careless in how she organizes things. These are things we will work on over the summer.

I told Mrs. Slocum about the conversation we heard in the back of the van when Lily was yelling at Noah to take the lettuce off of his jr. bacon cheeseburger. She said that she had not seen that side of Lily but that if she had then "you and I would know each other a lot better." I thought that was pretty funny.

Overall, Mrs. Slocum has really enjoyed having Lily in her class and thinks that she will do just fine in third grade. That's what we expected, but it's always nice to get that validated from someone who sees a lot of her in a different setting.
