In a nutshell...Colin is doing well academically. For his pals testing he scored an 86/102 (the benchmark was 28), so he is well above average at this point. These tests involve early reading skills like rhyming, letter sounds, spelling etc... She did give us some feedback on behavior like he needs to work on not rushing too much or getting distracted so easily. She said his behavior has improved the last couple weeks and after seeing his test scores she is attributing that to him being bored the first month or so. In kindergarten it is hard to tell how "advanced" kids are because some kids start to level out or even drop off as things get harder and other kids that may have been slow initially start to catch on. So, things may change, but for now he is above average. She was good about giving me some ideas of things to start working on at home.
One funny thing about the conference...Colin sits at a table full of girls. Well, I was thinking that it was good he was with girls because they might keep him calm. However, his teacher told me she was moving him because he sits with a table full of strong willed girls who might be leading him to be a little too loud!!
For dinner we had Evan's soccer team party. It was pretty chaotic, with too many people in a small hot party room. The kids seemed to enjoy it though. After years of watching Colin get trophies Evan was very excited to get his first trophy!
