So I was prepared to fight until the death. Fortunately the teacher parent conference did not come to this. In fact, all went really well. She and I agreed that Matthew was to have more one on one time in the classroom. There is a classroom tutor that will be helping Matthew with what ever his needs are. Mrs.V also told me that Matthew is catching on nicely and that I shouldn't worry. I told her what we have been doing at home with flashcards, handwritting and www.starfall.com . She thought it is great. You all should check it out. Especially those of you who have young readers. Matthew loves it and it's free! So we are on the smae page after all. I was ready to pull him out and place him in another class, but she is on track.
The spelling test you ask? Well she showed it to me and said that he did really well. He did. I was proud of the little guy. Tomorrow I have the day off with the boys. It is a teacher workday, so I decided that I would take the day off to spend with them. Those come far and few between when I can just sleep in and get mommy and natmat time, aside from Saturdays. We are all looking forward to it. Hope you all have a good Friday. We plan to.
TGIF and enjoy your free day not on the time clock together. Having a Mom and teacher who cares about their student is an A+.

It sounds as if she and the "great communicator" don't have much in common. It is a shame you were so worried about things that didn't require worry.
Have fun with the guys!
