We had Caleb's first parent/teacher conference of 2nd grade today. His grades range from a 92 to a 100 for the semester. The only problem his teacher ever has from him is his talking!! Big surprise!
They take an independent reading level test at the beginning of each year. He scored a 3.4 (which means he is reading at a 3rd grade 4 months in level). He had a zone of 2.8-3.9 (which means he can read and comprehend books on an end of second grade to end of 3rd grade level). The teacher said that really there are many 5th and 6th grade level books that he is reading and comprehending.
His teacher went on and on about how great a student he is and how much she loved having him and what great manners he has. That is always nice to hear, even if he does not always follow that over at home!
I asked her how the GT program worked. She said basically the teachers nominate the students they feel show leadership, hard work and have constant good grades. She said she would be nominating him and with how quizzical he is and with his grades she thinks he will do great in the program.
