parent/teacher conference - mason

i dropped the kids off at home with daddy, he met us at the art show after work, and went up to the school for mason's parent/teacher conference. i love getting there a little early to take a look at all of the work in the halls. 

i love that he drew our paper snowflakes we have hanging in our windows.

"you should love people that don't love you"

no surprise, mason's teacher (and student teacher) love him. they said that the letter i wrote him for his star student week is the same exact boy they see in the classroom - always nice to hear. what was a surprise, but should not have been, is that he has an extreme aptitude for math! his test score was the 99th percentile and his teacher said, "this is the highest i have ever seen." (i didn't post my pride to facebook, but i can brag here, right?) he is always asking about math scenarios and checking with me to see if he figured it out correctly, but i never really thought too much about it. we all talk about math and other facts all of the time. they are going to pull him and a few other kids to a small group during math lessons for a little more advanced activities.

his reading is nothing to sneeze at either (96th percentile).

i am most proud to hear about how he treats his teachers and others with respect and love. it was a pleasure to share all of this with matt when i got home. love.
