Aunt Bev reminded me that I never posted to say how the home visit went with Makenneh's teachers. I thought I had better do it now before I forget again.
I was frustrated with the whole thing because, as you may recall, they hadn't sent home any reminders and just called the morning of. Well, I had things I needed to do, but had to stick around for them. And they were over a half hour late! But, all went well once they got here. I like the aid better than the teacher. SHe just seems more into the kids and seems to enjoy her job more than the teacher. So, im glad Miss Laura is there. Makenneh is doing well in school. She is a good student and they enjoy her. We are working with her on her name and counting. She has just recently shown interest in learning these things. Before, she would get frustrated any time I tried to work with her on it. But now,s he is putting her "name" on everything and we count everything. They asked if I had any questions or problems. I did mention her stubbornness and behavior at home. OF course, they just couldn't believe that I was speaking of the same child they have in class. Miss Laura said she is so good in class and they have no problems with her. She also said that it's good to have them good in school and save the bad behavior for home. She has a son who is the opposite. I am thankful that she does well in school and I can imagine how frustrating it is when they do act up at school. I told them that last year,I did work with the behavioral specialist and they asked if i wanted them to have her contact me. I declined for now. She is getting better almost every day. And I anticipate that as she continues to mature, she will get even better.
Well, it is time for us to start getting ready for school and I just realized that I probably still need to secure the sitter for Sebastian. With my mom working, everything is always up in the air until the last minute. I need to talk to the college about child care...bc if they offer it and it's reasonable, that may be the best bet.
Have a great day!

When i was in grade school, i had several teachers who really, really liked me. They wrote such nice things extolling all my virtues. My family all wondered who they were talking about and where was that girl at home! (Neat, tidy, courteous, helpful, kind --- hehehe) I always thought if my family would worship me and respect my brilliance i might do better at home! Uncle Bob,(my brother)has a some what different take. He told Julie when she was amazed by Tucker's thoughtful / helpful behavior "See, we have done a good job raising him, he has manners, he just doesn't use them at home."
I'm glad she is beginning to want to learn letters and numbers. It is so fun to watch them start to learn.
love you,
I don't mean to be nosy or anything, but why do you have a home visit for your daughter? I've never heard of that before...
