Parent Teacher Night | Kindergarten

Doesn't Taft look excited that we are at Parent/Teacher Night? He had been to school all day and then at extended day. Shane and I got there at 5:54 and the meeting was at 6. He had a long day. But it was nice to see where he sits each day.
He loved the "pointer thing" as he called it. It belongs to the calendar and school countdown area.
He also gave me a little tour of his room. Of course - we saw the room at Open House and on the first day of school, but now he knows a lot more about it. It is his element and he is thrilled to show and explain it. I think it is a sign of how much he enjoys it.
This is the big cabinet in room. It is metal and doubles as the "What Are You Having For Lunch?" center. He was so happy to show me how it works. Each child has an apple magnet with their name on it. They take it and place it under the 1 is they are eating the provided school lunch, the 2 if they are going to substitute a grilled cheese for the entree, the PBJ if they are going to substitute an allergy free PB&J, and the H is they brought their lunch from home.
And I loved seeing what his teacher did with those family pictures she had taken at open house.
This meeting was a group meeting. All the parents were there at the same time. The purpose was to show us how they are grading, explain the scale (we aren't on an A, B, C, format), and give us an idea of where our child stands in relation to the class. The teacher had a power point bar graph and each child was assigned a secret letter so we could all together.
We then were asked to write down our child's scores. Before we left we were given a goal setting page to talk to our child about his/her strengths and weaknesses and discuss what we need to work on.
I loved being about to see where he stands this early on. First report cards go out in about 4 weeks so it gives us all time to improve.

  1. Good day! This is kind of off topic but I need some advice from an established blog.
    Is it hard to set up your own blog? I'm not very techincal but I can figure things out
    pretty fast. I'm thinking about making my own but I'm not sure where to start.
    Do you have any ideas or suggestions? Many thanks

  3. Вuіlding a site and getting traffic viɑ social avenues
    is easy. And they rank wеll with very little if
    any off web page optimization oг link construction because of the unique 'formula' used to
    constrսct the sites. Google Sniper has gottеn loaԀs
    of saleѕ on its launch day and it continues to do so as per its affilіate stats in Clickbank.

  4. Fantastic blog! Do you have any suggestions for aspiring
    writers? I'm hoping to start my own site soon but I'm a little lost on everything.
    Would you propose starting with a free platform like Wordpress or go for
    a paid option? There are so many options out there that I'm totally
    overwhelmed .. Any tips? Thank you!

  8. Howdy! I know this is kinda off topic however I'd figured I'd
    ask. Would you be interested in trading links or maybe
    guest authoring a blog post or vice-versa? My site discusses a lot of the
    same topics as yours and I think we could
    greatly benefit from each other. If you are interested feel free to shoot me an e-mail.
    I look forward to hearing from you! Terrific blog by the way!

  9. Try and stick to linking only to companies you can relate to and always remember, like with chocolate eggs at
    Easter, moderation is key. My OS is Windows, so I employ the Windows
    adaptation. Google offer a number of templates for your Adsense
    including a sponsored mini search engine – ‘Adsense For Search’

  10. You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this
    topic to be actually something that I think I would never understand.
    It seems too complicated and extremely broad for me. I'm looking forward for
    your next post, I'll try to get the hang of it!

  11. Because an infant's skin can't regulate heat very well, they can become overheated quite easily, thus
    setting off the rash response. It is a fact that, as one age, our skin loses a growing quantity of
    moisture; so, facial lines as well as imperfections are expected to occur.
    The area should be cleaned thoroughly with a gentle cleanser and allowed to air dry.
    The zinc that is contained in fish prevents the inflammation of the sebaceous glands and forming of pimples and acne.
    On top of that, you have the benefits of vitamin K. Wrinkles - Because the male skin is made to stretch, it often appears wrinkled in its soft state; in addition, wrinkled, thinner skin may
    develop as a natural effect of aging. A good quality
    zinc oxide cream should then be applied to the affected area
    before diapering. While beauty is, as they say,
    skin-deep, physical appearance is the first thing that impacts on a person upon the first
    meeting. When a person is affected by vitiligo, the change
    in his or her appearance can cause quite an emotional trauma.

    Some people are concerned about cellulite, whereas others
    it's anti aging creams they'll use for wrinkle
    prevention. Recurring skin reactions may warrant a trip to a dermatologist or allergist to determine the source.
    Diaper Rash- Diaper rash is a fairly common condition in babies between 4 and 15 months of age.

    Whether it's dimples or wrinkles, the foods we eat can make a drastic and lasting impression on the appearance of our skin. If it persists,
    you may need to use a hydrocortisone cream available from your pediatrician. If you have blemishes, itchy or blotchy red skin or
    cracked scaly skin - you are embarrassed and want to go and hide until
    it all goes away. Our body requires rest each day to recover from all the stress it has experienced throughout
    the day. The specific sort of condition and where
    on your skin it erupts are among the most significant aspects.
    Now, what is rosacea like in its Papulopustular form.
    EFT is beyond the scope of this article, you can learn all the basics.
    The same vitamin contain also green leafy vegetables.
