School check-in
Sunday, November 12th, 2017We had parent-teacher conferences last week, and they went as expected. Zoe is really happy with fifth grade and is doing well across subjects, especially in math, which has always been her fave, and Hebrew, which seems to be easier for her than in previous years. The school changed up the set-up this year, so all fifth-graders have the same teacher (one for science/tech/math and another for humanities) and rotate throughout the day; the idea is that they’ll be more ready for middle school next year, and Zoe seems to really like it.
Things are going well with Avery, too, and we’re most excited about her reading. While her sister has been a voracious reader since second grade or so, Avery has been slower to get into it. Something clicked at the start of this school year, though, and she’s now picking up books on her own and reading without being asked. Reading somehow went from being a chore to something super fun, and we couldn’t be happier!
