We had parent teacher conferences last night I have to brag a little. These were student lead conferences where the teacher sits down with us and he presents his work, his strength & weaknesses, and goals to us. Last year when we did this he was very shy and nervous but this time he stood proud.
Shaun is making all A’s and B’s even with being out of school for an entire week due to H1N1. He made up all the work he missed in a fraction of the time given. His math and reading scores continue to be way above the school & national average. To my surprise one of the A’s is an A+ in Spanish. He was extremely nervous about taking this class and it’s now one of his favorites. He has decided that he LOVES science and would like to go into a career combining science and animals… big surprise there huh. J
It’s just the beginning of the school year but he has already been noted as responsible, helpful and been seen doing random acts of kindness. His teacher said “He is so intelligent and he is confident but laid back. He is a joy to have in my class”. He even designed his Crew (aka homeroom) class banner. They are the “Brewer Funky Monkeys!”. So fitting for him, he has been the monkey boy his whole life. LOL
We all know Shaun is smart, talented, and kind but middle school can be awkward and scary. So far he is conquering it like the great little man that he is. I am so proud of him and had to brag a little.
