School mom
Last night was the very first parent/teacher meeting. It was nice but I noticed how few parents came to the school meeting about 25% of student parents. Yes, I know many were busy or whatever but it was still surprising. This school is the same school I went to from grade 1 to 6. The secretary used to work in a high school I attended and one of the daycare workers was working when I was in school. In the kindergarden class about 75% of the parents showed up.
The teacher did a nice little round up of what the year would be like, she explained to us the goals and her discipline rules. It was really nice to know how her class works. Also it helped answer a few of our questions. Being the ever so curious person I am I stayed after the meeting to ask a few more questions and also was eager to know how Zoe was doing in class. WELL... she adores Zoe and can't believe how sweet she is (good girl!). Zoe is a very curious girl (wonder where she gets that?) and very enthousiast about coming to learn at school. She laughed when I said how Zoe was bummed that she still couldn't read after the 1st week of school in kindergarden. ;)
We ended up talking at least a half-hour with the teacher and it was really nice. Carl talked to her too and she told us how her father was a trucker just like Carl was/is. So we talked more about plenty of things and I just got a good sense that my kid is in good hands. This teacher loves her job just as much as we love our kids, what more can you ask for? So this morning I left the teacher a little note and my mom was reading it and thought it would such a nice note. Hey, can I help it that I want my kid to be liked by the teacher?
I am working on a knitting pattern. GASP!!! Oh my goodness, Veronik BREATHE!!! I know isn't this a shock or what? LOL! Not gonna say more for now but it is a small project, don't you go thinking it's a sweater or something.
