22 Sep 08 Tristan & Zachary parent-teacher night and a nice excerpt from “The Unwritten Rules of Friendship”

Well it was the meet the school principal and the respective Grade 1 and Grade 2 teachers of Zachary and Tristan last week. The principals presentation in the gymnasium was the usual overview of the schools rules and way of teaching. After that I started out with the Grade 1 teacher for Zachary and switched classes with their mother to the Grade 2 teacher presentation for Tristan. We wanted to get a bit of a feel for both teachers presentations. They basically outlined their teaching style and the education and activity plan for the forthcoming year. It was pretty special to realize that the boys are indeed growing and learning.

Of course, there was a chance to confer with the teachers about how Zachary and Tristan had been during the 1st couple of weeks at school and naturally it hasn’t been without challenges.
