Parent/Teacher conference

Dave and I went to Adam's parent/teacher conference on Friday.  We chit-chatted with Mrs. Tucker while waiting for Mrs. Allen and she showed us Adam's self portrait that will be hung up the school's art show next month and talked about how good the class was on Thursday when they had a substitute teacher.  She said, "Even Adam was pretty mellow!"  I thought that was funny since he was waiting anxiously for Gramma and Pop-pop to arrive that day.   Mrs. Allen arrived and she passed us a folder that had some of Adam's pictures and writing from the year in it as well as his evaluation.  She mentioned Adam being as smart as a whip and funny. I told her I think Adam's goal is to be the class clown sometimes. She told us how cute it was one day when they read a book that Dave illustrated.  They always read the author and illustrators names and Adam perked up and said "That's my Dad!"  For the next 15 minutes, she talked to Dave about work.  I looked over the evaluation form and noticed 3 D's (for developing skill as opposed to M for meets) and they were for sitting, following directions, and something else I can't remember but along the same lines. Not surprising but a little because they didn't both check those things on the add evaluation earlier in the year. Mrs. Allen said something about it being the rowdy boy class.  Then our time was up and the next parent was waiting.  Sooo...I guess he's doing well!
