Report Card

 We recently had and end of the year parent/teacher conference with Sadie’s teachers.  They had nothing but good things to say about her.  Neither one of them can remember having to tell her not to do something. She listens well to instructions, follows the routine and loves story time.  I wasn’t surprised when they told us her favorite things is art especially when it involves tape and glue.  There is one little girl in particular that she plays with and they get along well.  Laura,  her teacher, talked some about her emotional awareness and how she is really tuned into what others are feeling and can tell the difference between angry, sad, frustrated etc which apparently at her age is a good thing.  What is weird for me is there are these people who know Sadie in a different way than we do.  At school she does not disobey, at home she does.  At school she is more shy, at home not at all.   I like getting a little glimpse into how she is which according to her teachers is: smart, shy, sensitive, into art, really likes digging in the dirt.  One last thing we talked about is that Sadie hasn’t seemed to be that interested in the main projects of the week.  One week it was airplanes, another it was buses.  I’ve decided that is because her life is pretty exciting and those things are not new to her.  She has been flying to the east coast twice a year since she was 6 weeks old and Mike takes her on the bus for fun.   We did suggest a unit on volcanos.  I think she would be into that.
