Odds and Ends

Favorite funny from last Sunday. We were at church and Patsy the instructor was talking about Jesus and his disciples. We were explaining that Jesus's disciples were like his helpers. Lily exclaimed, "Just like Santa's elves". That's my girl!

We had our first conference with Lily's teacher on Monday. Ms. Oland said Lily is doing fabulous. She has already completed most of the objectives for Pre-K. She is likely to begin bringing home one-word reading books! Very exciting. Ms. Oland showed us the test results and we learned something new and interesting about our beautiful princess. When given an oral/auditory test she doesn't always comprehend and know how to answer the questions. But given a visual cue and something to manipulate, she rocks the answer every time! So obvious she is a visual/kinesthetic learner.

Ms. Oland said overall she is a good listener. She occasionally needs reminders to follow directions and is sometimes silly, but once re-directed she follows directions. Socially she is doing well, she is hanging out with both boys and girls. She spends a lot of time with two other little girls in her "reading group". Her teacher reported that she sometimes can be bossy and doesn't like to share, but of course, that was no surprise here!

No wonder she and Rudy get along so well - sounds a lot like his conference! :)
