Today was parent-teacher conferences for my nephews. It went well. The two youngest are doing well academically with the middle boy doing the best (because his behavior is the best). Both boys are at or above benchmark, which is great. The youngest needs major work on his behavior but is doing the best academically (all around). My oldest nephew needs the most help– his math, handwriting and memory, his focus needs a lot of work. He kind of reminds me of my stepson at that age– does not want to take the time with his work, to make sure he got it right; he just speeds on through and then throws a fit when I make him correct his work. Frustrating for all involved. This boy, the oldest, has also been acting up in school– we think so he doesn’t have to do his math. His reading and writing is coming along well though. All the teachers complimented me and my husband, commended us for what we are doing and our good work with the boys. Even the secretary at the school. I almost cried because of how sweet they all were…and I know there is more I could be doing. I don’t feel like I deserve such high praise. There is still much work to be done.
