Parent/Teacher Conference

Last week Kevin and I attended our first parent-teacher conference. Upon our arrival, Mrs. Jones asked us how in the world we got there without Sofia helping us find the classroom and showing us where to go. She's got Sofia pegged. Kevin has nicknamed her "the director" and needless to say she continues to be so at school. I asked Mrs. Jones how this affects Sofia's interactions with her classmates. She said the students have learned to just walk away when they've had enough and Sofia doesn't seem to mind. Together we laughed and appreciated this strength of hers.

We were pleased to hear that Sofia is excelling in all areas of academics as well as her behavior. We were also pleased to hear that Mrs. Jones is challenging and moving Sofia forward in her learning. After 25 years of teaching she said Kindergarten is no longer milk and cookies. Kindergarteners are expected to be at a B level in reading by the end of the school year. The lowest level is AA moving to A then B and so on. Sofia is currently close to a D level.

It's encouraging once again to know that placing Sofia in public school was the correct choice for us. We pray that the knowledge Sofia gains will benefit her learning of "the wisdom of God"...the meaning of her name.
