Isaac's parent-teacher conference went very well today. He's doing great in math - something clicked for him. We noticed it and the teacher noticed it. Apparently he and another student asked when they were going to learn multiplication.
He is doing well with reading. His reading is around 80th percentile, but he's still getting all the things he needs to get...sounding out words especially. He's probably at about the spot he'll need to be leaving kindergarten, so everything is coming along well.
He could use a bit of improvement in writing, but his teacher isn't sure if he's slow because his writing is slow or he's thinking about what he wants to write. In either case, she isn't worried as he has words on the paper.
Socially he seems to be doing just fine in class. She's heard a few big laughs from Isaac lately, so he's feeling more comfortable in class. He's also talking with most of the students, even though he doesn't have a 'best' friend.
There's a book fair at the school's library that they always sell well to the kids. Isaac had put down some titles that he really wanted, and he mentioned a few times that he wanted to show Ben the list because there were minecraft books on it. Well, one minecraft book was just a guide of how to play and the other was the third in a series. So we got him a different Minecraft book that wasn't on the list. When I got home, I told him we didn't get him any of the books on his list and he was about to cry. I quickly showed him what we did get and he quickly got happy again. Disaster averted.
