Our first parent/teacher conference

Dave and I went to our first-ever parent-teacher conference last night for Violet's preschool review. Dakota came over to babysit for a couple hours, and we turned the night into a small date night. Violet's main teacher, Miss Stephens, took the full half hour time slot to review Violet's school work, stuff she has worked on, things they love to do, and things they say. We left pretty happy, as Miss Stephens had a glowing report. She is really impressed by Violet's ability to speak and communicate how she is feeling, her ability to draw and trace things, and noted her improvement in writing her name in a few months. She said she gets along well with everyone in the class (there are 11 boys and a total of 5 girls, including her), and she said her favorite friend is a girl named Maddie. Her teacher gave us a copy of a picture of their whole class. Violet didn't make it in the picture though, the day they took the picture Violet was in TX with Dave. But she was happy to see the pic when I showed her at home. She could tell me every kid's name. The only thing we need to work on with Violet is trying to help her remember the number 15 in sequence with the other numbers. She can count up to 26 but she consistently skips the number 15, breezing right over it saying 13,14,16, 17. This reminds me of when I was in kindergarten. I remember learning the months of the year in order but always forgetting to say October. September, November, December. haha! The next hour we spent at Los Cabos munching on my favorite chips and salsa, we both also ordered a small meal. Dave got a latte from Cup of Joe and we headed home.
