Progress Reports and other fun

The first set of progress reports have gone out in the Chicago Public Schools. Parents will now know how well their child is doing. I am proud of my children. They seem to have started out the year well. I hope they can keep it up the rest of the quarter.

My daughter's teacher did something neat. She set up individual meetings with all the parents. She called it an informal "Getting to know you". I really liked that I was able to sit down with her teacher and ask her anything I wanted to. With 30+ kids in a class it is really hard to get one on one time with your child's teacher. Report card pick-up should not be the first time you meet your child's teacher. I know that I will try to do this type of parent meeting when I have my own classroom.
