So, yeah. She rocked their socks off. And is staying put. So all is right in the world, at least for now. Not that there isn't still a pit in the depths of my stomach, because the conference wasn't exactly 100% comforting, even though the report card, right there in black in white? That's kind of proof that I am right, that she is where she needs to be. But even if she isn't, if things change in a few months, we'll survive. She is so happy where she is right now, the thought of pulling her out was literally keeping me awake at night (don't worry, I've found something else to keep me awake!)
Anyway, things are back to "normal". Lots more for her to learn. I think she'll do great. The fidgeting ... well, it'll come. Eventually. She may be a fidgety kid. She may get better as she gets older and more used to the classroom setting. Who knows. Right now, I think she's fine, even though she isn't getting perfect marks in "citizenship" - it's not like she's doing anything really wrong, like some of the other kids (hitting, calling names, throwing rocks at other kids, etc.). She's just a little wiggly in her seat. I'll take that any day.
So hip hip hooray, straight A's on her first report card. And this is accelerated A's, they run from 94-100, so .. well, I'm just proud as punch. I didn't expect them, and really, it's kindergarten, but still. That's my girl!
