Earlier this month we had parent-teacher conferences. Keith and I headed into them a little nervous to see how things were going. The teachers had asked us to meet about Caden, but we talked briefly about Caleb too. We were SO happy to hear they are both doing well!
Caden's teacher was so positive, helpful and encouraging about the progress he's making and the potential he has that I literally wanted to cry at one point early in the conference. It was so wonderful to hear from a teacher that is willing to work with him.
Keith and I weren't overly happy with his teacher last year, but he still did well during the school year. This year, we're blown away with the fact that he seems to be in a much better place than he was a year ago!
Caden likes to fidgit, a lot. And his teacher found a way to help him fidgit quietly at his desk that is not distracting to him, his peers or the teacher. She has give him a small soft ball to play with in his hands during the day while she's teaching. He has rules in place that it's only for him and when he's not at his desk it's goes to his teachers desk and he follows them all well! He came home from school telling us about it and recognizing that it helps him. His teacher echo'd all of that at conferences. We're SO happy she's found something to help him focus. And we're so proud of him for recognizing that and succceeding in school!
Caleb's teacher also said Caleb is doing well and succeeding. He's on pace and there are no concerns at this point, which is so encouraging to hear!
Dear boys, we're very proud of you. :)
