Both kids had student-led conferences. Owen needs to work on his presentation skills and info presented as his answers were like:
What are you good at?
Everything.
What is your goal?
To be the best at everything I do.
What do I need to work on?
Nuttin
I’m pretty sure he’s trying to be funny…but we talked to his teacher and she said she had zero complaints or worries about him. He listens, pays attention, doesn’t get distracted, has lots of friends…
Katie is doing great, too. She filled out her self-evaluation that she didn’t like math, spelling, or reading—which both us and the teacher thought odd since she’s great at all three. You could even see her demeanor change when talking about it. Her teacher even asked where the other Katie was. It’s so frustrating. She obviously knows, for example, her math facts (tests show it). But at home when she’s doing homework she flails when trying to answer 7+4 or 12-3 and gives us ridiculous answers like “I DON’T KNOW. 50?”
She also showed us her Kindness Quit square that was hanging in the main hallway.
Her teacher said she’s doing very well and is very smart and helpful. We just have to figure out the math and reading thing.
