It took over three hours and four schools...

It took over three hours and four schools but I'm finally finished with my parent/teacher conferences. It started this morning when Ryan and I visited with his preschool teacher. He is doing great academically - knows his letters, numbers, writes his name, knows advanced patterning, etc. but needs to work on his social skills. The team working with him (preschool teacher, occupational therapist, and speech teacher) have decided that he will remain in special needs for his kindergarten year. I have mixed emotions about this, but do know that it is for the best. This way he will get the help he needs to be successful in the classroom. Ryan and I will attend kindergarten round-up in a couple weeks. I'm anxious to see how he does. Will he be able to separate from me? Every Tuesday I work in Chase's classroom and although I could go while Ryan is at school, I purposely bring Ryan with me so that he can be comfortable being on the school campus.

Later this afternoon I left the house at 12:45 and returned home three hours later at 3:45. First up was Reid. He is doing great. His teacher is interested in having him tested for advanced math at the end of the year so he can participate in that for fifth grade. Chase was next. He is doing well. We just had his IEP meeting a couple weeks ago where we set some new goals for him. I signed up to be one of the parent chaperones for their class field trip in a couple weeks.
I then went to the high school and ended at the middle school. Today I talked with four teachers of Austin, six for Molly, two for Chase, one for Reid and one for Ryan. Fourteen exceptional teachers. We are thrilled to have such terrific individuals teaching our children.
