We had Hunter's Parent Teacher Conference this week. Mrs. H had nothing but good things to say about Hunter and I floated all the way home in a little proud bubble. She said he's more than ready for second grade and that his math and reading skills are outstanding. Her only area of complaint is that Hunter tends to do the bare minimum when it comes to his writing and she really wanted to see him do better. She said the talent is there but he's so anxious to get onto the next thing that he rushes through his storytelling. But, that's Hunter for ya. I think his brain works faster than his hands can write and that hinders him a bit. But he did just write a fabulous "how to book" on playing Starcraft and I suppose if he's interested in something enough, he'll put forth an effort that counts. As for the math homework and his straying from the "norm," Mrs. H agreed Hunter could answer his mathwork however he pleased and that she'd try and come up with some challenges as well. She really is a wonderful teacher and I really just want to hug and kiss her for embracing Hunter whatever his past record may have said and giving him a fair shot at first grade. Kindergarten was such a nightmare--may we never have another year like that for as long as we all shall live. And thank you Mrs. H for all you do for our little Hunter.
