Conferences

Last night, we had Brett's parent-teacher conference.

This one was a little unusual, in that instead of talking with his teacher the whole time, we travelled between seven different "centers" or stations.

Among the highlights were watching Brett reading a book and then taking a Reading Counts quiz on it, watching Brett take a pratice typing test, playing a board game and Brett and Dan having a race using Speed Stackers.

The neatest part of the conference was the PowerPoint Brett created. It was basically a mini biography of Brett, his favorite foods, books, etc. I think it's great that in second grade they are learning to type and use computer programs. I didn't start using computers until I was a junior in high school!

Grandma didn't start using a computer until way later and I still don't know what I'm doing. Good job Brett.
