Lux's first parent teacher conference

we had lux's first parent teacher conference this am, and it was a success. i think both geoffrey and i were nervous, i'm not sure, we had NO indication to feel that she wasn't doing fantastic. but she is, doing fantastic, both academically and socially etc. teacher had absolutely no concerns, she participates well and appropriately; can be placed next to any child and is kind, respectful and thoughtful to everyone; academically she has taken off since the start of the year and well on her way to being a proficient reader and writer and seems to do very well at math and science. she is keen, enthusiastic and happy each day, and trys her very best at everything.

we also heard from the teacher that the standards at lux's school are higher than most of the school's in seattle's northeast quadrant and by the end of the year kindergarteners are well on their way to have success in grade one and beyond. for the time i have spent in her class i am blown away by the students, not only lux, but most of them are focused and really doing great stuff.

i'm delighted, she has had some tough days after school, hard to gauge why, its an amazing long day, she has a gal or two in her class that she has a difficult time navigating, and the teacher confirmed this for us. i really expected at this point in the year it was about settling in, but lux has taken it beyond settling in and is truly engaged and learning.

not sure why i'm surprised, she continues to amaze me with her spirit and enthusiasm for things, well done lux!!
