Thursday: conferences

We had parent-teacher conferences tonight.

They both went very well.  Joshua seems to be harder on himself than I realized.  He's working hard, doing well, and participating appropriately.  A very normal conference for Joshua.

Isaac's conference seemed a little different than normal as we looked at his grade report, saw it was good, and moved on to other things.  In the past teachers have always had examples of work to show us.  (This wasn't good or bad, just different.)  The teacher has been keeping him sitting together with one other student because they're getting along well and they balance each other out: Isaac is quiet, the other kid is loud.  But apparently the other kid is also funny, and Isaac self-reported that he has to work on not laughing at inappropriate times.  Anyway, for the first time we heard that he's becoming more social which is amazing.  

One of the most interesting things of the night was as we were leaving the teacher across the hall was standing outside and mentioned that she loves Isaac too.  It's one thing for your own teacher to enjoy you, but it was surprising to have another teacher say it.
