Parent - Teacher Conferences

(Olivia's very first school picture)

This morning I had my first parent - teacher conference for Olivia.  It's awfully strange reversing roles and being on the parent side of the conference table.  For so many years, I was on the teacher side of it.  I must say - it's much more rewarding listening about your child's progress from the parent side.  Just as I expected, Olivia received an excellent report.  Her teachers are really pleased with her listening skills, willingness to please, sweet nature, and motor skills.  They commented on her being the younger side of preschool (with a summer birthday) yet she is doing fantastic.   Her teacher's sent me home with a Progress Report and under the teacher comments it read: Olivia is a friendly and generous girl.  She is anxious to please and listens to our directions.....  We are really proud of our preschooler.  Way to go, Olivia.  Keep up your love for learning and your passion for other children.

Here is her first class picture.  It's so cute.  This will definetly go in her scrapbook!
