Yesterday I had the pleasure of attending Kat's Parent/Teacher Conference for Montessori school. No surprises there. Kat is a pleasure to have in class. Kat is engaged. Kat is learning. Kat nurtures others. Kat cares.
Her teacher Mrs. T mentioned that she feels intimidated to send home books for Kat because I am a librarian and I know more about children's literature. Pish! I was able to reassure her that we don't care what Kat reads, as long as she is enjoying herself. I have a list of books I want both Kat and Drew to read before they hit middle school but we can do that on our own time, no need to worry about that!
I was also able to address the homework problem. Kat has too much homework each week. Kat doesn't need homework. Kat is 5 and reads on a third grade level and does second grade math and is a good citizen. Kat needs to play after school. Mrs. T agreed with me and we made the decision that if she noticed Kat struggling to grasp any concept that she would let us know right away and that we'd work with her at home.
It was a nice conference where I didn't learn anything new about Kat just some reinforcement that Kat is well liked and doing fine.
