Last week, we had our first Parent-Teacher conference with Connor's teacher at Montessori. Little did we know that this is far more involved than a report card. We sat down with Ms. Beth to discuss Connor's progress in the three main areas - academics, behavioral, and work habits.
According to Ms. Beth, Connor is well rounded with an interest in all 5 academic areas that Montessori monitors (practical life (aka motor skills), creative expression, science, math, and language). It was no surprise that he is proficient in many of the math areas considering his parents are Accountants. It was a little surprising that he has an interest in the science area. Ms. Beth said that he is very curious about things yet to be presented and likes to watch the older kids at work.
Ms. Beth said that Connor stays quite busy during the day, really enjoys getting new lessons, and displays a positive attitude. She said he is easily pulled into inappropriate play, but is equally easy to redirect him back to the expected behavior. Connor recently asked if he could be the "Bathroom Monitor", so he is working with an older child to learn the role of this position. His motivation in this area relates to the fact that HE is usually one that the bathroom monitor has to remind to be quiet and stop playing in the sink.
Great news Connor! We are really proud of the progress you are making at your new school.
