We had our second parent/ teacher conference this Friday. Well, lilja is doing great in class. She is reading at first grade level, knows all her numbers, letters, shapes etc.. the teacher told us she was going to call us to not come in, because there was nothing to discuss . However, lilja does have a tendency to get distracted which we think is just being bored. ( lilja's own words) well our motto is, if you are bored go find something to do , in this case ask your teacher if there is something else she can do. I guess there was a math activity she had to do; count the blocks and write the number of.blocks down.. lilja wrote 16 blocks under all of them and told the teacher she just did not want to do the activity so she write 16 on all of them.. she luckily did not get away with that.. from Mrs basey and from us..  We talked about the teachers for first grade and which ones would be good for lilja.. Mrs basey said:" I will choose a teacher that is sweet, soft spoken and very artsy .. yep, it seems she got lilja pegged .
