Parent Teacher Meetings


I have been on both sides of the P/T Meeting table in the last week, and all went well. As teachers, we find that the parents we really want/need to talk to NEVER turn up, and as parents, I always feel surprised that the teacher seems to really know my daughter. I get to know many of my students well, but not all of them. I wonder if their parents feel the same sense of surprise when I say something that confirms that I know their 'real' child?? (and would they guess what we get up to in class-- see photo)

Who knows? I also find it funny that even though I am a teacher AND have a great kid to discuss, I feel nervous or uneasy (like a student or something) when stepping into my daughter's teacher's classroom.

It is funny. Well, it's kinda funny.

My tasks for the month are coming along swimmingly-- I have been exercising a couple times a week (and aching the rest from overexersion), I have increased my water intake (not just Diet Coke and coffee), and I am getting some of those pesky household jobs done. Tomorrow I will even be posting my dad's very belated Christmas gift. Yea me! I ordered my THRIVE necklace from Lisa Leonard (see link in previous post) and look forward to seeing it as a daily reminder.

All is all- life is good, except for being broke! BUT there is another lotto draw tomorrow....

fingers crossed
