Thanks girls, I don't want to go in to this meeting unprepared and looking foolish.
DS1 has been having a little trouble at school, nothing extreme, however his behaviour, mainly his concentration, needs some work. He's by no means a naughty kid, however he is currently easily distracted, sometimes doesn't know when to be quiet and often speaks when the teacher is speaking, which lands him in to strife.
The reason for this meeting, in her exact words, is for us to let her know what our goals, both behaviour wise, and academically, are, and for her to do the same so we can then sit down and come up with goals that are suitable from both sides. As I said before it's really hard for me to do that not knowing what is exptected from him, but I also don't want to look foolish or unprepared.
So far I have broken it down into:
What we expect from the school:
To be kept up to date on reading level progression.
Updates on curriculum, what is being taught, either on a weekly or monthly basis. Perhaps a quick email each week with topics for the week.
For example, I had no idea that DS1 was doing a topic on past and present toys until he came home with an excursion form for a trip to celebrate end of topic!
What is expected from us (the parents) (apart from the obvious, which is to discipline and parent our child)
Daily reading (us to him and him to us)
Daily revision of sight words
Daily word practice (writing)
What is expected of DS1 academically and behaviour wise:
This is where I'm needing help setting some goals. So far I have:
Reading level to progress to level 3 by end of term and level 6 by end of year.
To know 3 sets of sight words by end of term.
To listen and follow instructions.
To be courteous and respect fellow students and teacher.
