Kayson 7th Grade Fall Conferences

Fall conferences are in full gear, already.  And it feels like Fall outside too!  

7th Grade Social Studies - good meeting with the teacher, they've done a lot in the first couple months!  Kayson seems to be interested in Social Studies, so that helps.  And Mr. Sink seemed pleased with Kayson as a student, and kid.  Good meeting. 

7th grade Pre-Algebra - another good meeting, and apparently I was emotional during it...  as Mr. Willman talked to us and Kayson, it was clear that he enjoyed Kayson, and especially hearing him say "for 8:30 in the morning, Kayson always has a smile on his face and is a good kid."  Wow.  I instantly had tears in my eyes.  It's wonderful hearing that...  

As for the math part, K is doing well... definitely not his favorite subject, but he knows he needs to slow down on tests, and knows when to ask questions.  

7th Grade Science - a fun meeting, if you will.  Kayson's science teacher is good friends with Blair and Martina, so that was fun...  seems like a nice guy and fun for Kayson.  As for Science class - Kayson seems to be doing well and likes the class.  They learn so many cool things (probably not cool things to Kayson, but as an adult - it's cool.)  So overall, another good meeting. 

7th Grade Language Arts/English - our last meeting, and it was good.  I couldn't get a real feel for the teacher, probably not one of Kayson's favorites, but seems nice enough, and said Kayson is doing a good job  I think English has stepped up a bit from 5th to 6th to 7th...  just harder, just more to think about.

Overall, a great week of conferences.  We handled all of these online, which was nice... easy from home.  But all done, and we are proud of Kayson.  It seems to be that he does well in school, and is a good kid for the teachers.  And really - that's all we ask at this point.  We may have 'issues' with him at home or on the social aspect, but if he's a good, respectful, happy kid at school - we are doing something right.
