Kayson 1st Grade Winter Conference

And just like that... we are done with 'winter' Parent/Teacher conferences, and school will be out in about 2 months?!?!?!  WHAT?!

Ryan and I met Kayson at school... off we were to meet with Mrs. Turner. 

Kayson continues to do really well --- 

  • addition is good!  He just passed +9 and +10 today!!  We just need to have him be a little more fluent with them (so quicker), but he's got it.
  • subtraction - just starting, but doing well
  • reading -- FAST score is 496 (which is at 3rd grade level).  YEA!
    • reading independently at level J, and starting with K and feeling comfortable
  • he participates in class, has a positive attitude and gives his best effort (I love to hear this!)
There are always a few things we can do to help - 
  • keep working on math - adding and subtracting.  In 1st Grade, they'll go up to +10 and -10... 2nd Grade will go up to 20, plus 2 digit adding/subtracting.  So we just keep practicing!
  • pay attention and focus when the time is needed...  K is still our social butterfly, but Mrs. Turner said it's better... but always more room for improvement
  • reading - think beyond the text.  So basically - when he reads, he needs to understand it - he needs to be able to tell us what he read, what the characters felt, etc.  That's a hard one - I even have trouble with that! :)
Overall, another successful conference!  We are so proud of him.
