Classroom Praise Report

It's been so long since I've written. Life seems to have taken on a whirlwind speed and I haven't quite figured out how to balance my writing in this mix. Today is an exception because I have finally found a library in Highland Mills near Jeremy's social group in which I can sit in the heat and have internet access...a wonderful praise because the internet has not been a part of my life lately.

Anyway....I wanted to share some encouraging bits about the students in my class.

1) All of the kindergarten and most of 1st grade students are writing their numbers on their calendars (a huge accomplishment in their fine motor development).
2) Jack can now write the letter "J" mostly on his own. He is also biting and scratching less....which I really appreciate :).
3) Rodney is being mainstreamed into a 1st/2nd grade classroom during the mornings and Emmanuel has started being mainstreamed into a 1st grade class during the afternoons.
4) Jayden can write his name independently and can read 3 sight words.
5) Kevin is gaining confidence when speaking.
6) Aiden isn't whining everyday.
7) Max isn't talking quite as much or as impulsively as he used to.
8) Christopher remembers my name.
