We had O's first school conferences last night. We were very pleased to hear that he's doing extremely well in school. Miss Carla said that they do an assessment of the kids at the beginning, middle and then at the end of the year. At the assessment they did of Owen at the beginning, he knew all of his body parts, all of the colors and shapes, he could recognize all of the lower case letters and upper case letters and tell what sound each makes and he could count to 40. She said he's a very polite little boy who uses his manners without being prompted. He shares well, enjoys writing and riding bikes and is a good eater. She said he has made friends well and she's starting to see the real Owen come out of his shell. She got to hear his contagious belly laugh yesterday at lunch.
She said the one thing that he struggles with is staying focused and getting tasks completed. She used the word "turtle." We struggle with this at home too, so we understand! It takes several reminders to get through brushing teeth, getting dressed, eating dinner, etc. So, we'll keep working on that.
We are so happy that he is adjusting well and enjoying preschool!
Good job Owen!! Glad to hear you are doing so well and use your manners. :-)
