Ava's conference went well yesterday. She got 3's in all areas. Her reading is really great and her teacher told me she finds Ava a joy in class. Ava has cut down on talking in school and has been able to focus more. That was the best news to me since Ava is her mother's child and likes to talk, A LOT. Mrs. Phillips caught me off guard though when she sent us home with a borrowed book to read called The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick. She said this "Because Ava loves all things French!"lol What Ava must say in class I don't know. We started the book for family reading last night and it's a pretty cool book. It reminds me of Harry Potter. Mrs. Phillips hit it on the nail, Ava loves the book and took it to read once she and Kennedy were in bed. I have to say that being able to share the joy of reading with Ava has been awesome. I got her The Velveteen Rabbit at her cousins fall festival and she read it before I even had a chance to talk to her about it. Mrs. Phillips is so pleased about Ava's reading desire she sent Ava home book report forms to do extra credit. All in all it was a great conference.

good job Ava!
I'm thinking moms need to be able to be flies on the wall at school to see their kids in action:)
Great to hear she's doing well!
That's awesome that she loves reading so much. Making mama proud, she is! ;) Cam does, too. He just finished reading The Invention of Hugo Cabret, he loved loved loved it. As a book report they made it into a board game. Great idea, he put way more time and effort into that then he would a boring book report.
What a great conference, Ava!
