A couple weeks ago we had our first parent-teacher interview. We didn't go in with any specific questions; we were just curious to hear more about D's behaviour at school. The teacher told us that D is "a lovely little girl" and "a pleasure to have in the class." She's where she should be in terms of learning. She gets along well with both girls and boys. She likes the house corner best. She asks for helps when she needs it (the teacher quoted her as saying, "I think I need some help"). She helps others.
The teacher also mentioned a couple observations that reassured me that D isn't putting too much pressure on herself to be little-miss-perfect. Apparently, she is sometimes too chatty! And sometimes she's a bit pouty when she doesn't get a turn to do something.
D. was waiting out in the hall doing some drawing and reading during the interview. Afterwards we told her that we'd take her for a little treat before we went to get A. We offered to let her pick out a new book at the bookstore, or go her for a milkshake at the diner, or choose a sweet at a café. And what did she choose? To go get Cheesies at the convenience store! Classy.
