2/11 - Jadyn and Jaden's school results/performance

2/11 - Today is the Parents-Teacher Conference @ Conley Elementary where the parents are supposed to get the overall assessment from the teachers on the kids’ academic & school performance. It’s considered as Q3, so I suspect they use summer break as a cut-off and we are into the Q4 after this.. For their semester break, they will have a 2-week spring break in mid-March, followed by a summer break on 1 June, then school reconvenes on 3^rd week of July.. So looks like they will have another 2-3 weeks of schooling in Q1 @ Conley after all J

Back to their performance..

1)      Jaden – Met teacher Maize @ 3pm. She gave a glowing review of Jaden and I was really touched and amazed how he has performed so well at the school..

a.       + bright student. Can recognize all his words and more.. The only student in the class who could do so.. She gave more words to read

b.      + Phonics – this is most impressive.. he scored a 68, way better than goal of 17 at his age group !  That was astounding considering that a year plus before, he was having difficulty in reading.. What a year it was @ Smart Reader Kids.. What a transformation !!

c.       He loves to draw and can draw in such details.. He is gifted on drawings.

d.      His readin skill is so good Ms Maize pushed him up to the top of the class and gave her more difficult books to read (instead of middle of the class).

e.      – A couple of times, ran around the class, took off his shoes, and even took off his pants in the room (he was wearing 2 layer pants due to the winter). So Ms Maize placed in right in front of her in the classroom.

2)      Jadyn – Met Ms Clifford @ 3.20pm. Comments : Jadyn can sometimes be very quiet but sometimes can be talkative J

a.       + She is a good addition to the class

b.      + She has completed all her multiplication ahead of everyone (well, she has studied in her Kwang Hwa School)

c.       + She completed her work fast in the classroom.

d.      – She sometimes did not complete her homework. At times approaches the teacher on Friday asking how to do the homework. Should have asked earlier.

So overall, a satisfying result considering we have been here for only a month. Another 4 months of schooling for them J
