She, as we expected, is doing very well in class. She is right where she is supposed to be with her reading, writing, numbers, etc. She is a "sponge" as her teacher said, and a joy to have in class. And although she is on the quiet/soft spoken side, she eagerly participates in all activities.
yada, yada, yada, yada.
And then, the most important thing, in my opinion, was said in the meeting. I asked her teacher how she was with playing with the other children, wondering if she kept more to herself, stuck with the few same friends or if she was a social butterfly. Faith doesn't give me much info on this when I ask her. Faith's teacher said this "Faith is a friend to EVERYONE in the class. The girls, the boys, the kids who can keep up with her, and the kids who are not quite at her level. She will include everyone who wants to participate in whatever activity or game she is playing. She shows kindness to all the children."
That is what made my heart bubble with pride. Not the marks, although I am very proud of how well she is doing and her hard work, but just knowing she shows a loving heart to all around her makes me feel like the things we try to teach her are sticking! :)
Well done Miss Faith!
