Our first Parent/Teacher conference

So....yesterday we had our first Parent/Teacher conference. It was voluntary, and there will be another one mandatory in the spring. But I really wanted to get an idea of how the teachers saw Trevor in how he was progressing and behaving. It was pretty cool. He has two teachers, but only one was at the conference.

Behaviorally, Trevor is where he should be. He has some things he is working on when it comes to not taking toys away from people. But that they have noticed that he does respond well when behavior is modeled and practiced.

In terms of other skills, the teachers are amazed at his memory. I know from listening to him tell stories that he loves the Bible story time. They do one bible story for two weeks, and he is always quick to remind the teachers which one they are doing.

One of the other things they do in school is have name cards used for taking attendance, and allowing kids that it is their turn to do something. He has always been able to pick out which name is his, even though there is a Ty and Timothy in his class. But what the teachers are amazed at is that when it is time to let kids take their turn to do something such as to wash up for snack time, Trevor knows by sight all the kids names in his class. (and there are 20 kids in his class). The teacher commented how it is funny that if a name is picked, and shown to say that it is that child's turn to do something, Trevor can quickly say who's turn it should be, even if that child is not paying attention, or doesn't recognize it right away. Such a memory Trevor has.

So, overall a very good report. Have I said lately how this preschool thing has been such a lifesaver for us??? I'm so glad he has taken to it and it has really improved his skills so much.
