Danjela's Parent/Teacher Conference

Danjela's Kindergarten Picture - Age 5 1/2



We met with Danjela's teacher this past Friday morning. We're so proud of her!

According to her teacher:

* She is reading at a Level 3. Most kindergarteners at this time are barely reading at a Level 1.

* She is already scoring at end of year levels. So, three months into school, she's scoring at where she should be at the end of the year.

* She is doing great with reading a story and then being able to retell it in her own words.

* She is an excellent artist (which we think she inherited from Uncle Matt and Uncle Brian)

* She's very helpful in class, follows the rules, and helps out other students

* She is doing very well in math.  She can count to 100, where at this time of the year, they expect them to count to 20.  Again, she's scoring at year end levels

We received a checklist for the milestones that she should be at for mid-year (things they'll be learning next quarter), but her teacher said that she's already surpassed those milestones.

We are so proud of her! We took her to the school Book Fair afterwards for a reward. She was allowed to pick as many new books as she wanted. She chose the Barbie phonics set (a set of 12 mini books with a different phonics concept), the Disney Princess Christmas book, and two other Disney Princess books. She also wasn't happy until she picked a book for Nadija too. She picked a colors and numbers book set.

Her teacher also encouraged us to keep on doing exactly what we're doing with her. Yeah for us!
