Parent Teacher Conferences

Are today. I am usually on the giving not receiving end of this endeavor. I am not sure why it is so important to hear other people say nice things about one's children. But it is. At least for me. I do not particularly care if M is an amazing reader or if J is a skilled athlete/musician. I do care if their teachers think they are nice, interesting, and especially kind to the adults and children in school. After much trepidation on my part, I was thrilled to hear at 7:40 am that M is a great member of her class, never melting down or being fresh (ie like at home) and always willing to find ways to include kids in her games. J is apparently also a social guy, who especially enjoys the ladies in his class (who wouldn't? they are adorable). I am now happy to sit in my classroom for hours cleaning and copying/planning because I have a warm feeling inside that F and I are doing something right. Happy Friday!
