Parent-Teacher Conferences
Today we went to a meeting with Lance & Chloe’s classes. I went to Lance’s classroom and Heidi went to Chloe’s. I was a little overwhelmed at times when all the parents started talking at once, but for the most part I got the gist of what the teacher was trying to get across.
After class I stopped to talk to one of Lance’s teachers. Before I had a chance to ask my question she stopped me and told me how attentive Lance is in class and how she thinks that she understands everything that she says. Time and time again she told us what a bravo studente, good student, he was.
When the meeting was over Heidi told me that her teacher told her how great Chloe was in class! Heidi asked her if there was anything we could do to help Chloe with Italian. Her teacher asked us not to do a thing! She said when Chloe speaks she sounds like an Italian kid. If we try and teach her she will start sounding like an American speaking Italian!
I was very proud of my kids today. They’re doing well in school and picking up an amazing amount of Italian at a very fast pace. Awesome!
