Preschool Meeting

I had my appointment with Brad’s preschool teacher today. It is almost the end of the Florida VPK, his graduation is Wednesday 3/21. The meeting went very well. It is just as I suspected… Brad is smart and sweet. He just loves helping around the class. He knows almost everything he should for kindergarten. (This isn’t what he needs to know to go to kindergarten, but a list of things they will test him on in kindergarten.) She said she has seen a big change in him where he really wants to learn now, and has calmed down and grown up. And before where he was getting into a little trouble (because of some of the other boys), she says that has all stopped, and he is listening great, and is a big helper. There was only one small area of concern, that he is having trouble with a couple of letter sounds in his speech. His hearing was tested, and showed no signs of problems, so she thinks it is more a bad habit he has gotten into. Letters like C,G,K,L,Q he is having a little trouble pronouncing correctly. I just love his teacher! Brad has been with her since starting in daycare when he turned 3, so she has gotten to watch him grow and develop. He isn’t a baby anymore. Now we need to get ready to start Kindergarten in August. I just can’t believe how big he is getting!!
