1st Grade Self/Teacher Evaluation

Maevy-girl-

You got a great review from Ms. Young this morning. She's really enjoying having you in her class, and you're performing great.You and she were both stretching for things to work on.

Interesting anectodoes/things to work on-
- You've fallen out of your chair twice this year and once in the cafeteria...one time resulting in a visit to Nurse Ginny. (You're a knee sitter and wiggly - this doesn't surprise us.)
- Your self-eval (not surprisingly) shows that you have no desire to do physical activity.
- Ms. Young thought your comment on art projects was actually kind of insightful and true.
- You are neat and organized.
- You aren't missing any work when you go to Encore. Ms. Young is usually working with students and no new concepts are being taught when you're gone.
- You are bit of show off or at least like to nicely remind everyone that you are already reading chapter books or have already mastered (insert random skill here).
- Your desire to hang out with the teacher does make you a little nosy - always wanting to know what/why Ms. Young is talking to so-and-so.

Ms. Young is going to work on giving you more individual praise and affirmation - to maybe help cut down on the desire for classroom affirmation. We'll work on teaching you to support/help your peers...and giving Ms. Young a little space.

All in all...we're of course super proud and continued to be impressed by your work ethic and desire to learn.

Keep up the great work!


Reading - I'm really good at. 
Writing - I'm really good at.
Math - Working on fluency. 
Lunch - I don't get to sit by friends if they go to lunch bunch.
Recess - Tired of running. 
Art - It's long. Project could take just one day. 
PE - I get tired. 

Needs to remember to put her jacket up - It ends up on the floor on her desk..all over the place.

Book Character Day & Halloween

You were pretty stinkin' cute as Ivy from the Ivy & Bean series and one of the few from your class that dressed a protagonist from an actual book...unlike say random princess from a Disney story.

Your friend, Laosie, also dressed as Ivy. How funny that you both picked the same book/book cover to use as inspiration.
 Super quick pick as you walked by and didn't notice Carter/I during the parade.

The next day as a penguin..with your fireman brother. :) (not pictured are your adorable flipper slippers)
 You and Daddy made it up and down our street, but you did not partake in any of the haunted mazes or scary stuff. You also did a great job handing out candy. It was another crazy year...and we were out of candy by 7pm. But then we got to head down Esther's party - where you ran around and ate more sweets and 1 piece of celery that I made you eat. :)

Happy Halloween!
