We went to Abby's school conference yesterday and it went really great. Her teacher said she is doing really well and above where she needs to be for first grade. Her report card was all "O's" (which means outstanding) except for Math and she had an S+. She said she knows all the concepts of Math and can do the work but just needs to work on her speed a little bit. Abby has told me she doesn't like the speed drills because she gets nervous. She also said that Abby has totally come out of her shell since the beginning of the year. She will volunteer to read and also shares prayer requests and will pray for the class. She has lots of friends and her teacher said she really enjoys having her in class. It was such a great conference and we were super happy with the report! I can't believe what a difference a year can make.
Abby also just started taking piano lessons this week. She was so excited and loved her teacher, LaSarah. While at the conference, her teacher said that when Abby finishes her work, she's been working on writing notes to her piano teacher. I was cleaning out her backpack this morning before school and found this:
I love all the curly letters! I have never seen her do that before. I just thought her note was so sweet and cute! We will hopefully have the piano delivered today or tomorrow because she can't wait to practice. I hope that lasts! :)
That is so neat that Abby is taking lessons from LaSarah! She is the best! Hope Abby really enjoys it.

That is like the sweetest note ever. What a doll. She does have great handwriting and the curly letters are too cute. I can't wait to hear her play the piano. And yes, I hope the love for practicing sticks with her. :)
