Teacher Conference

Yesterday it was time for another Teacher Conference. This is equivalent to the Swedish "kvartssamtal", a way for the teacher to update the parents on how their kids are doing in school.

I was happy to see she is doing great, and the teacher showed some tests (yes, they do both reading, writing and math tests for 6 year olds!).

Sarah has really come along way with both her reading and writing, I am really impressed! On Thursday next week the school will have its Quarterly Recognition Assembly, and I was informed Sarah will receive some kind of award then, so I will attend to show her some support, I am sure it will be a bit nerve wracking to have to get up on stage to receive an award in front of the entire school. Go Sarah!

Work is coming along great, I have been extremely productive the last few days. No more signs of whatever that was the other night, so that is good.

This weekend is Halloween of course, so there will be trick-or-treating for Sarah. Usually we all go, and after an hour or so the dogs and I will go home, and Ken and Sarah will continue on.

As a rule pretty much everyone follows, you only go to houses where the lights are on. Since we are out, we keep our lights off. Same thing when you run out of candy, you turn your outdoor lights off so kids will know. Great for people who don't want their doorbell rung all night long too!

We usually don't hand out any candy, since we are out trick-or-treating. Our neighbourhood is a very busy place during this evening!

I think the rest of the weekend will be for stuff that needs to be done around the house plus a bit of shopping. Next week it is back to work, work work again, so I better take the chance to get a few things done, like cleaning my car!

Hope you are all having a great day!

Wow, bra jobbat Sarah!
Det är Jensen blodet i henne som visar vad det går för...
Hoppas ni får en riktigt läskig Halloween!
Sen får du uppdatera längre fram hur det går med Kens dotter. Jag är väldigt nyfiken på hur det går och hoppas på det bästa här hemma i kalla mörka Sverige.
