Genius?

So I had parent teacher conferences today. I went to Blaze's first. I was expecting the worst. At home he's pretty laid back, very talkative, and pays very little attention to anything I have to say. Apparently at school he is the exact opposite. He listens very well, he's a little talkative, and he bosses Braydon around. They do a "pre-test" like a week after school starts to see where they are. He scored an 11 out of a possible 23. Mrs. Batty said that's the low end of where he would need to be for Kindergarten. That's a good thing by the way. :) He's one of only 4 in the district preschool that can point to words that rhyme and one of very few that can turn a book right side up and point to the title. So genius?


Possibly.

I then went over to Jercie's. They take a test at the end of September to see where they are. She is above average in her reading and math (which is all they test them on). Her teacher says she is very well behaved and the only time she really has trouble with her is when it's time to transition to a new activity and Jercie isn't finished with what she is working on. She likes to do her best work all the time, so it takes her longer than the other kids to complete it. She doesn't like to leave anything unfinished. Her teacher also said that she is ready for some of the things that the second graders are doing so she would like to start giving her some second grade math to work on so that she will be challenged and not get bored. I think this is a wonderful idea and can't wait to see how well she does with it. So another genius?




Maybe...
