Yesterday was Parent/Teacher conferences. We started off with Olivia's class and her teacher had nothing but good things to say about her. She said she knows a lot of her sight words already, which is great! She's doing great in math and is making lots of friends. She said she's polite, and follows directions and is a pleasure to have in class. We are proud of her!
Luca's teacher, Mrs. Reo said she really enjoys Luca. She complimented him that when she's instructing Luca will nod his head and smile and she knows that he's paying attention. We received a mid-term report card a couple of weeks ago and he had two checks which was he
needed to improve on staying in his seat during work time to talk to his friends. She said since the report card and since we
talked to him he has not gotten out of his seat during work time to go
talk to his friends. She said he loves taking Accelerated Reading tests (which is an optional test). He reads about 2 books a day in school and takes a test on it. She said that he was tested as a first grad reader who has been in school for 9 months, although, I know that he can read 3rd grade level books. Most of the optional test he's been taking is 2nd grade level- 10 chapter books. She said he's also doing well in math. We are also proud of him, too!

Hot Chicks
On Friday, after school, Luca was signed up to sell popcorn for Boy Scouts at the front of a local supermarket. There were about 4-5 other scouts with him and he did a fantastic job asking people if they would like to buy popcorn to support his troop. He would always have a smile on his face and even if the people would say no thank you he would still say "thanks anyway!"
When we got home we were eating dinner and Luca was telling Corey about his day. Here is how the conversation went.
Luca "I asked these hot chicks if they wanted to buy popcorn."
Corey and I both look at eachother thinking did he just say that?
Corey "Were they on fire?"
Luca "No, it's an expression. They are girls who have boyfriends."
OMG we have never heard or taught Luca "hot chicks." But we were laughing inside. I ended up asking him who taught him that and he said "Wessely" who is an older boy scout. TOo funny, but had to write this down so I could remember.
We also had a "Meet the Parent" gathering for Olivia's Kindergarten class. I met a mom who said to told me that she HAD to tell me a story about Olivia. Her son's name is Noah and before school started they had a meet n' greet for all the kindergartners at a park. Noah told his Mom that he wanted to make a friend and he pointed to Olivia and said "I want to meet her!" She said then her son kicked the ball towards Olivia and Olivia kicked it back to him and they became instant friends. She said it was the cutest thing she's ever seen. I thought it was a cute story to remember.
