Corey Bragging ! Corey Bragging !

Today was parent teacher meeting day. They don't give out report cards anymore, they are Progress Reports. They don't give out A,B,C,D, or F's either. They give out:
AC (area of concern)
*(not assessed at this time)
G (group instruction{?})
1 (beginning content and skills)
2 (Developing/improving)
3 (Basic-developing application)
4 (proficient-meets year END expectations)
5 (advanced)
6 (exemplary).
ok so basically, everyone should be at a 1 or 2 right now, 4 is where they want you to be at the end of the year. Corey got the highest score allowed on each assessment spare 2, which were more of a maturity/behavior thing and is still well with in normal range. So in some places the teacher (who I love even more now than I did 8 hours ago) gave him a 1 or 2 because she was not permitted to give higher in those categories. Example, she would have given him a 5 in subtraction, but due to just starting that skill, she was only permitted to go as high as 3. He got the rave reviews on his math, reading, and vocabulary.
I saw a story he wrote the second day of school vs. one he wrote this week. I teared up. He has just improved leaps and bounds! And he has the greatest vocabulary.
Examples of things he has said in class:
Actually that is not the character I was hoping to talk about.
Well, for future reference...
Regardless, ...
I suppose that was the proper decision.
So what you're telling me is ...
And when asked what the word "join" was or to provide a sentence Corey was the only one to raise his hand ...
"Would you like to join me for a drink?"
I am still laughing! Flirt! Hitting on the teacher like that! I have no idea where that comes from!
He is either at grade level or above on all areas. And as far as that whole anger management ... not even a hint of an issue, she agrees that he just needed time to adjust to all the changes.
So my bright, talented, wonderful child is proven to all!
Hear that pride, see the grin on my face, that is the bragging of a very proud mommy!
