We spent a long weekend in Boston and had lots of fun lounging in the hotel and eating yummy chinese food.

Conferences

Hey Bradley,

We just had conferences with your teacher Ms. Gabriel and reading teacher, Mrs Fisher.  Ms Gabriel said you are the 'poster child' for success with the right medication.  You have made a lot of progress, no more shut downs like you did in the beginning of the year.  You've also gained more confidence throughout the year and wants to learn and do everything right.  You interact with all the kids in calls and have good social skills.  

You are SUPER KIND and SUPER SWEET.  When you started 2nd grade, your reading level was at kinder level but with the most recent assessment, your reading is now around end of 1st grade level.  You are also great in math.

Mrs Fisher said you are SUPER SWEET, a hard worker and has more confidence.  She loves having you in class and your winter NWEA scores were at 21, up from 2 in the fall.

Keep being awesome Bradley!! I am so happy this is working out for you.  I love you so much.
