School report

School pictures have arrived alongside report cards. This is Brenna's first year to receive number/letter grades and she seemed very proud of herself for earning straight A's. She squeaked by in one subject, but came out very strong in Science. Cameron also earned straight A's, all high marks. Cameron's behavior grades were all E (excellent), while Brenna had a few S (satisfactory).

I had a parent-teacher meeting with Brenna's teacher about ten days ago. In second grade the teachers still encourage all parents to have a meeting once each long semester. Brenna's teacher expressed her concern that Brenna isn't being challenged enough in class. She dismisses the impulsive behavior conduct marks as "just Brenna;" however, she does see improvement and thinks as Brenna matures her conduct will continue to improve throughout the year.

Cameron really loves fifth grade and her teacher. She is singing with the school choir, serves as class representative in Student Council, and re-joined Yearbook Club. Her teacher says no conference is necessary; she's a great student. Cameron is really looking forward to her fifth grade class trip to Washington D.C. over Spring Break!
