First Report Card

Today was our first parent/teacher conference and Charlie got his first report card! I met not only with Charlie's kindergarten teacher but also with the reading specialist, whom Charlie has been seeing in a small group for half an hour a day, four times a week. Both were very positive, saying that Charlie is "sweet" and "adorable" and that he listens carefully, works well independently, takes rules very seriously and is considerate of others. They also said that his "phonemic awareness" has greatly improved since starting with the reading specialist - I can attest to this personally, as he is beginning to sound out his first words. On his report card he got satisfactory marks in all academic areas with a smattering of areas where he is "consistently exceeding expectations" such as recognition of letters, associating numbers with sets of objects, counting with meaning, recognizing and producing rhymes, etc.

Overall, a great report card - way to go Charlie and keep up the good work!
