Thank You

Tonight we had Parent Teacher Conferences. It was one of the best ones we have had for T-man. We are so proud of how hard he is working and his “can do” attitude. His teacher talked about how far he has come in his writing and also his willingness to try (which we have been talking about a lot). One of the things that made me so proud is that we learned that everyday, T-man will tell Mr. Roberts “thank you.” Mr. Roberts said that he will even come back from his locker and say “Thank you for today.” (He even went on to say that he told his colleagues from his old school how this is the first student that has ever said thank you like his). His special ed teacher said he also says thank you every time he leaves her room and now the other kids in the group have followed his example. She said several times what a great kid he is. 

I am extremely proud of how T-man is working hard  and can see him growing more confident everyday. I can only hope that he continues to realize how unique and special he truly is. 

D-man’s conferences were fine and mostly spent talking about communicating with his teachers during his concussion. Not much else to say at this point. We have tried to use this as an example of all his hard work and effort paying dividends as teachers respect and trust him based on past efforts.
