We had Quinn's parent-teacher conference last week. Or, as his school calls it, a "celebration of learning"

There were a variety of crafts hanging up. Quinn made this one - it says "I'm thankful for my mom." Of course, I had to take a picture of that!

Here is Quinn's "hopes and dreams" picture. Parents had to fill out their hopes and dreams for their child, and then the child did the same.

I wrote "That he is always kind, always happy, and works hard at everything he does." Quinn wrote, "I hope to make new friends."

Quinn's teacher, Miss Jill, told us that Quinn needs to work on his handwriting, and that he excels at math. She also noted that he is reading at 1st grade level, and that his balance could use a little work. All things we knew about our wonderful child!

Below is a photo of one of Quinn's essays. He wrote, "I went to Bakery with my mom and dad and with my sisters." He got one ice cream scoop for that essay. You can get up to two scoops, but he got knocked points for leaving off the "the" before Bakery. Strict!

Miss Jill likes to give out little gifts as incentives. Here is Quinn with a pair of vampire teeth he received for turning in his homework on time, along with a handmade Turkey hat. Moin picked him up from the bus that day, and said Quinn emerged from the bus wearing this ensemble and was quite a hit among the other parents.

We're proud of Quinn for working so hard in school thus far!
