Cody's Conference

Cody's parent/teacher conference was tonight and I was slightly nervous about it. However, I do not know WHY I was so nervous as it went really well! Cody has made adequate progress in all areas of his IEP! Yay! Now I have to brag.... he knows ALL eight of the sight words learned so far! I brought home the words as I was going to make flashcards and he told me all of them!

He can read: I, a, the, go, like, can, see, and we

So now I am going to make flashcards as practice as well as the new sight words he will learn after Christmas. His Intervention Specialist said that she just loves him and that she doesn't want him to go to 1st grade next year. She has seen such progress in speech as well as the speech pathologist. Cody is now speaking in 3-4 words sentences. His classroom teacher is so amazed that he is participating in circle time and is learning to raise his hand to answer questions.

They kept saying what great parents we are and that Cody is lucky to have us. It is quite the opposite as we are BLESSED to have Cody as our son. It was a total God-thing seeing as it a foster to adopt placement possibility fell through or we would not have had our precious son.

That's a wonderful report to receive, no doubt. Way to go, Cody. This far away friend, who has enjoyed hearing about you from day one, is joining your parents in being very proud of you!!!
Blessings,
