Conferences

Tonight was P/T Conferences...for all 3 of the girls....

The elementary is grading based on the Standard Based Assessment. 4 - 1, with 4 the highest.

Tuki earned all 4's and 3's. A ton of praise from her teachers about her behavior. She is at a DRA reading level of 34, which is 500- 800 lexile, which is about mid-3rd grade level.

Ve earned 1, 2 and some 3's. What I didn't like is she had 2's on her effort. So she came along tonight and we talked with her teacher about her effort. What came out of the conference is that the teachers feel now is the time to check her for ADD since it is now getting in the way of her learning. Her DRA is also 34, mid 3rd grade while she is at 4th grade. She wastes a lot of time with everything around her and doesn't get to work, especially on her own. So I will be calling her doctor tomorrow to start the evaluation process for her ADD diagnosis. Her classroom teacher even had the school psychologist conduct and observation and it is her report that confirms she needs help focusing.

Mim earned all A's & B's in her classes. Not bad for her sophomore year in a new school.

Other than that we are all doing well.
