I went to Holly's parent teacher conference last week. She is doing great. I wasn't surprised. She has always been very talented when it comes to school. She is in the top reading group in her class and is doing fantastic in math and spelling. The teacher even asked me what I was doing. Nothing. Holly is just Good at school.
As happy as I was to hear that she is doing well in school the teachers next comment is far more important to me. She said that Holly is really helpful. She said that most kids that are doing well in a subject look down on kids who are not doing as well. Holly does not. When Mrs. Gibby asks for someone to work with the kids that are struggling in a subject some of the kids get upset and grumble but not Holly. Holly is always excited to help.
She is great!

I was one that in 2nd grade was asked to help teach the slower kids when I had finished my work. I remember feeling very responsible and grown up that my teacher would ask me to do that. I see Holly's maturity in understanding the why behind the service--and she is so sweet it doesn't surprise me that she's willing to help!
Another Baxter teacher in the making!!!!
Grandma would be so proud!
I LOVE having students like that!! I guess you guys are just awesome parents. Go ahead and take the credit. I know I would!!
