I recently attended conferences for both Drew and Matt and walked away from both conferences proud. Hopefully this trend will continue each and every year.
Drew's teacher said he is a pleasure to have in class, has perfect behavior and that his classmates are drawn to him and that he is a leader. And as one of the youngest in his class I'll always be concerned that he is "on track" with his peers and again she said he is right where he should be. She shared some of his recent work with me so I thought I would share this with you. I think at age 5 he can draw better than I can. As you can see he has drawn a picture of a park and and then written the sentance "In spring I see park." I'm amazed at how much he has learned in the past 7 months, he wants to know how to spell everything, is writing short sentances, adding and subtracting and is even reading books like Green Eggs and Ham. I wonder what they'll be doing next year?
At Matt's conference his teacher talked about how smart he is for such a young age and she can't believe that he is one of the youngest in his class. He was more slow to engage socially in class, but has really made leaps and bounds this year. I know he has also learned a lot this year as well he just doen't show it as much. I love this picture that he recently made in school, and it makes me really happy that it has a smile - he obviously likes school more than he sometimes likes me to think.
