Grades

Jo got her report card and she seems to be doing well. She mainly got satisfactory and a few excellents. There are some stuff she has to work on, like knowing our address, phone number, and 911. Some other things, I think have to do more with her being really quiet in class. Like one of the things she has to work on is class participation. She is so quiet in class. Little by little she is coming out of her shell, but she is so scared of getting pennies taken away and not getting to go in the treasure box that she doesn't want to ever be loud in class. Good for the teacher, but then it just seems that she is extra introverted. Oh well... it will all work out in the end.


One of the things I have been afraid of is that due to her being quiet (and tiny) the other kids would treat her like a doll baby and she wouldn't learn to do things on her own. I know somebody who's daughter is now in 2/3rd grade and had that issue when she was in preschool and now has issues with her daughter not even being able to complete tests in the time frame allotted. So one of the good things that came out of the parent / teacher conference was that Mrs. V said that another little girl was hovering over Jozie and doing things like pulling chairs out for her and helping her walk around (the other little girl is big for a preschooler, in my opinion) and was basically treating Jozie like a doll. Mrs V saw this and then told the other little girl to leave Jozie alone, that she was big enough to do things on her own. I was glad to hear that her teacher is aware that this can happen and making sure it doesn't. Yay for great schools and wonderful teachers!
