The last day of school has come and gone. Still no official word on moving up a grade. What I do find very exciting is the last nine weeks my daughter made straight A's. Not surprising but she spent one nine weeks in second grade, the last of four and still made straight A's. Just more data to prove the move will be a good one for her.
Also, I had a parent from that class yesterday tell me that her daughter really enjoyed having Alex in class. This might not sound like a huge deal but being accepted by new peers and getting along with those kids is something they look at in moving a student up a grade.
The gifted teacher is working so hard for a few students even though the final bell has rung. I am so appreciative of their efforts. For now we joke with Alex about what grade she is in.....because we don't know. She said that makes her feel stupid (that is a first). It is all in good fun. She knows their is a possibility of not moving and she said if she goes to second grade next year she wants the same teacher.
We meet next week for a conference. Two days after school is officially over. Teachers are never officially done.
