Thursday was the day of Ali’s teacher conference. We really didn’t need to meet with Mrs. Weber but we just wanted to check up on her progress, mainly with her speech. What we did find out was that she is reading at the highest level in her class. What was funny too was that when they did their testing in the fall, Mrs. Weber asked the students to set goals for themselves; obviously not anything outrageous, but just so they had something to work toward. We saw Ali’s scores from the fall and what she what she set her goal at for the spring. She ended up hitting her goal for the spring in reading right on the nose, and she surpassed her goal in math by 5 points (again she is in the highest percentile).
Her speech teacher also said Ali is a joy to work with. She is doing very well with her progress on her sounds and is very energetic and eager to get things right. She wishes that all her students could be as good as Alison. Hopefully we’ll get the same type of teaching when she goes to Shady Lane next year.
On the same note, Ali’s teacher said that she looked thru her room looking for Ali’s vest and couldn’‘t find it. We asked the school secretary and the principal to pass the word along to the other teachers to be on the lookout for it. The secretary actually gave us the keys for the computer lab and said we were free to go look around in the event that Alison took her vest with her to the lab and just forgot it there (this is the kind of familiarity that we’ll be missing next year at Shady Lane). We’ll see what happens tomorrow.
