One could easily think Im only proud of A, especially since I forgot to update after parents meeting with J´s teacher (when we finally found the time to do it) Mrs. D talked about how kind and happy she is and how she listens to instructions and that she can keep her concentration up for an appropriate amount of time (I guess they dont do things that needs a long attentionspan, but still it feels good that she can do what they expect of her) We talked about the writing and reading (after all its just the beginning of her first year at school) so there is not so much to say about it really but Mrs. D showed me that J knows all the phonics apart from q and she knows quite a lot of the "by heart" words that they are supposed to practice to know just by looking at them instead of sounding them out. I added that J is one of the youngest in her class and Mrs. D said it doesnt show at all. I was so proud of her when I walked out of that meeting, it was just so great to hear that things that we struggle with at home (like listening to advice/directions) are not the same in school.
