Mrs. Cecil has her first parent-teacher conference with Marianne's parents. She has a set of assessment papers to share with them. She shares Marianne's first letter in December to her grandmother "I L U" (I love you) surrounded by illustrated purple and pink hearts. Next, she shares a paper written in March "Bnns R m FT FD" (Bananas are my favorite food) and compares this with what she did in early October (she drew pictures; her name was the only writing). Mrs. Cecil was sharing with Marianne's parents.
