As has been my experience with first grade so far, kindergarten holds nothing on first grade. First grade conferences were a little (A LOT) more detailed, and in fact, 20 minutes wasn't enough time to review his grades and progress AND ask questions I had of the teacher. And you know I always have questions! Whew, it went fast.
Naturally, Sam is a brilliant and talented student. His reading is "above average" and his math skills are terrific. I did find one 1 on the report card (grades now come in 1-3, with 1 being the lowest)-- organizational skills. Can this be my child? So I asked. Messy desk. Apparently my genius son is too busy to keep his desk neat, so there are often papers spilling out on the floor or left on top of the desk. I think I remember that kid from grade school. As long as he doesn't eat glue too, I think he'll be okay. When I asked him about it, he slowly smiled and admitted that it was not his priority. Well, of all of the things I can think of to put in the "some work needed" category, I guess I'd choose organizational skills above sharing or attention deficit or illiteracy.
I am so proud of my smart boy!
