Tyler's Parent/Teacher Conference

I met this morning with Tyler's teacher.  I really do like her a lot.  She seems so enthusiastic about teaching and is so approachable during the week!  Tyler is doing great.  He has a clear divide between math and English/language arts skills.  It was no surprise to me how he enjoys and excels at math.  He always wants to do his math worksheets first.  And let me tell you that the equations that they are doing are mind blowing for a first grader!!  He is doing good in reading and writing, however his reading comprehension is a little slower.  I'm afraid he might have gotten that from me!  He is also struggling a bit with organizing his stories on paper.  Again, it's so advanced compared to kindergarten.  I suppose this is partly due to the new common core requirements. So, we will have to work with him on reading more and writing better.  I can help with the latter.  The first is a challenge for me as well!
