It is the end of the second trimester at Ridgeway Elementary and time for Parent-Teacher-Student Conferences. We picked up the kids after school and stopped in at the Scholastic Book Fair. We bought two books for each kid and one for each of their classrooms. Then, we met with Laura’s teacher, Mrs. Dempsey. Laura has a couple of things that she can work on – speaking more loudly in class and math, but overall she is doing well. Next, we met with John’s homeroom teacher, Mr. Gramke. He is doing well, but he needs to work on not disturbing others and practicing self-control. He is a social, popular kid and he likes to interact with others. Too much at times… We finished up the day meeting with Ms. Johnson, John’s reading teacher. He is making strides, which is a great thing to see.
