We were prepared to hear the usual.... engaging kid, smart, friendly but needs to know when to stop talking , interrupting and challenging the teacher
But... NO!! Not so this year, read for yourself what the teachers had to say. We are so happy for Jimmy and hope he's proud of himself. He's off to a great start an amazing kid:)
His teachers all say that Jimmy knows when it is the time to
talk and when it is the time to listen, no interrupting!!! A first! And...he's very inclusive and friends with everyone. He doesn't have just one group he hangs out with. He includes everyone and is friendly to all (my proudest moment:))
Experimental Science:
Jimmy is going great he has a solid B and that is because
there has only been one 12 question test and he got 9 out 0f 12, he is right
where he needs to be and doing great.
Things are going to start picking up so he needs to be
ready. In two or three weeks time he needs to identify his project for the
Science Fair which is in Early Jan. He needs to be better than 90% done before
Christmas Break.
Life Science:
Again doing great has a Bt. She is suggesting that develop
alternative study habits, instead of looking at the study guide cover it up and
quiz himself, study with a friend things like that.
She also was emphasizing that he and all the students
continue to write in their journals and check the portal.
Core Homeroom and US History:
Loves having Jimmy in his class and loves the way he always
raises his hand and asks questions. He has an A at 95% and is very organized
and inclusive, his teacher loves that.
Algebra:
Asked Jimmy to explain where he was and what they were doing
in class, which he did. Was impressed that Jimmy is where he is even though he
skipped 5th grade ( which I explained to all his teachers and they
all we impressed)
He seems to be a nice guy and very strict which most likely
why Jimmy is having issues with him, I liked him. Jimmy has an A and Mr.
Johnson challenged Jimmy to develop the habit of asking for help and to do so
earlier than later. Jimmy did say that he sometimes lets his mind wander during
class except when Mr. Johnson is explain things because Jimmy’s words “ When
someone is explaining something to me that is my chance to understand what I
don’t know”.
French:
Her first words how lucky she was to have Jimmy in class and
how he is super helpful, and the we talked about world travel for 10 minutes
after that J
English & Packer Fan:
She LOVES having Jimmy in her class, beyond happy. Jimmy is
the kid that when she asks are there any questions he always raises his hand
and asks question even if he know the answer, it is super helpful to her. She
also likes that fact that in class Jimmy sings to the class to motivate them to
learn, her first words were “ Did you know how great a voice you son has?”
Gym:
Loves Jimmy his involvement and the fact that he sings in
the pool. Can’t wait to work with him this year, loves his spirit and
enthusiasm.
Band/Music:
I filled him in on Jimmy’s musical history and past
accomplishments and involvement and had a huge smile on his face. I explained
where we are at with the practice schedule and Jimmy is at a Dt because he has
not submitted it yet, Mr. Wolf also asked me to write a note about the mix up
with the payment and not letting Jimmy bring home a instrument and he will
reflect hat in his grade, basically he will give him full marks and October
will be our baseline.
He
is going to send out a tryout schedule for the Jazz band and will let Jimmy have
more than one if he wants since he plays drums and piano
