Mid Year Report 2007

It seems it is that time of year again - report card time!

I received Byron's Yellow room mid year report the other day. He is plodding along there and for all intents and purpose is happy. There doesn't seem to be any advancement on last year in the following of rules and concentration department and his listening ears aren't always in attendance. I am pleased he has retained the use of his manners and that he can lend a hand around the place. He is still a social butterfly, especially with the ladies and he has no problems in the 'play' department but must work on his sharing techniques a little more. In all it was said:

He 'usually' really enjoyed dramatic play, blocks, puzzles, sandpit, climbing, games, books/stories, collage, painting, drawing and music.

He is 'usually' happy at kindy.

He 'usually' can share with someone else.

He 'usually' says please and thank you.

He is 'usually' proud of his work.

He has made friends.

He 'sometimes' looks after his belongings.

He 'sometimes' helps at tidy up time and he 'sometimes' helps the teacher and his friends.

His concentration is improving 'sometimes'.

'With help' he will follow the rules.

'With help' he will listen when others peak.

'With help' he will try to share things.

In terms of his Montessori skills, he is said to be 'progressing' with his sensorial activities i.e. Colour work, visual work, textures, shapes, mass, sound and taste. He is yet to tackle maths and beginning reading (something he will most likely undertake next year).
