School report
As mentioned, we had parent-teacher conferences for both girls a few weeks back. I highlighted a few things about Zoe’s already (it was a good report, overall) but didn’t mention that the teacher had also asked her to fill out a self-assessment. Zoe gave herself smiley faces in all categories, except for science and PE, which got neutral faces. When asked her favorite thing to do (either inside or outside of school) she wrote “play with my sister.”
As for Avery, her teachers said all is well and she’s ready for kindergarten next year. (Good thing – since it’s our plan to send her!) She likes working in both small and big groups, and she often raises her hand to contribute in class. She’s mild-mannered at school, they said, except when it’s her day to be line-leader – when she takes charge and gets her classmates in shape. (One of her teachers said she was surprised and amused when she heard Avery yell, “TIME TO CLEAN UP!” one day. We know Boisterous Avery very well, but apparently she’s new to them!) In terms of favorite activities, Avery’s particularly fond of the dress-up area and doing dramatic play. “She could play house with Sofia all day long,” they told us.
