We talked to Corwin’s teacher yesterday about Corwin’s progress in school. She said that he as a good kid who was doing well, so it wasn’t the most exciting meeting possible. He’s already reading at the level he is expected to by the end of the year.
He did a puppet play with another child in his class, although he refused to talk about it with us. His teacher said that there had been some creative differences between Corwin and his partner. Corwin had wanted to the puppets to journey to Mt. Everest but they compromised on the Arctic. I was surprised that Corwin knew that kind of geographic detail.
Corwin’s story that won a school contest didn’t win at the district level. Oh well. I’m still impressed that he writes well enough to be in the running.
The oddest part was that an evaluation was done on Corwin and his highest percentile was in “Artistic Ability” and his lowest was in “Academic Skill”. That’s not on track for being an engineer!
