First Parent/Teacher Confrence 2-27-14

We had our very first parent teacher conference at Jillian's preschool.  The teachers had nothing but good thinks to say about her.  We of course asked if she behaved well to which they said she does.  That is always nice to hear! :)

They showed us paper chart of all the things she should know before kindergarten.  Just had to do with recognizing all upper and lower case letters, the sounds letters make, and then numbers.  She had a good start with recognizing must of the upper case letters.. she doesn't know the lower case ones so well and has to work on the sound recognition and numbers.  Also the front page was of her writing her name, which still needs some work.

The teachers didn't have any concerns with where she was at with her learning.  They told us that she is fun to have in class.  Lately they have been pretending to go on vacations together during free play.  The teachers also said that if one of them sits down she comes over to see what they are doing, and asks  if she can do this or that. 

We talked about how when were first brought her in how I was sure they would have to call me to come get her because she was too upset.  The teachers said they had actually forgotten about that and said that she has always been fine.  She usually starts out pretty quiet and then warms up.  Also she will join in but isn't usually the one to initiate things. 

This past Tuesday it was her turn to be the leader  They said she just loved that!  She got up front in the line and put her arms out to make sure all the other kids stayed behind her and followed her. 

We did tell them that we had her signed up for class next year for M-W-F.  Which as it turns out will be with the same teachers in the same room.  That will be nice for her to go back to the same class and routine for the next school year.
