First Grade Conferences

Many of you know our struggles with Kindergarten, so going into our first First Grade conference, I was not sure what to expect.  What we got was a wonderful conference and were rewarded after last years struggles.  We got to hear what a smart, sweet and well behaved boy we have.  While there are areas he needs to work on, overall he is well above where he needs to be at this point in first grade.

In addition,  his teacher shared with us a story that simply warmed our hearts and made us even more proud of him.  One of Mason's Fourth Grade Buddies is a boy with disabilities.  After their first time together, this boys teacher made it a point to visit with Mason's teacher to tell her how excited she was that this student was paired with Mason.  She said that Mason interacted with this boy so well and helped him out with their activities.  We are glad to know that he has such a great heart and ability to interact with anyone.

Way to go Mason!
