We went to our first parent-teacher conference this evening. The teacher had a lot of nice things to say about Carrie. I was kind of surprised to hear that Carrie cries at least once a day at school, but her teacher is confident that it’s just a maturity thing that will come with time, and it’s never more than a fleeting moment in her day. It must be fleeting, because she’s never once mentioned being sad in school.
We already knew that reading is one of Carrie’s strengths, but she’s also doing really well in math and everything else. Even though she’s young, she’s holding her own as one of the youngest in a class with a bigger than usual age range, and she’s well liked by her classmates. I think that’s a pretty good start to kindergarten!
