Excellent Reports

 This past week also included our 3WP meetings for MA & DB. DB was so excited to show/tell us what he has been working on this term. He did a great job. I think we could have stayed there all day and he would just keep showing us more and more. His teacher said he is a leader in the class and sets a good example for his classmates. He is a hard worker and his writing is coming along. I was impressed with his coloring/ drawing. Each week, the kids draw a vase of fresh flowers that someone brings in. Each of his were different and full of detail. Another day they were asked to draw a character from a book- a pig with a quilt/ checkerboard pattern on his body. His teacher said he was one of only a few that were able to replicate the grid with lines in both directions to make the boxes. Then he colored each square in different colors.

  MA's 3WP meeting went extremely well too. She is a leader in her class. She has really taken to reading this year. She is reading at a higher level while still maintaining a high level of comprehension. They work a lot on retells when they read and also they do  recount at the beginning of each week about the past weekend. Her handwriting has also improved 10 fold. Her teacher has spent a good deal of time with the class on handwriting and it shows. Ms. M didn't have any concerns and said she was doing great in year 2!
