Although Griffin is the youngest in our class, he had no difficulty adjusting to our routine and schedule. He is smart, articulate and often in a happy disposition. He follows directions well and can do his work for the day with little supervision. During times when he gets distracted by other children walking around, he is able to focus again once he is prompted by teacher to listen.
He did very well during our informal assessment of basic math, reading and language skills. He is able to answer what, when, where, who, why well, and expresses his ideas like a little grown-up. The only times when he showed some hesitation to work was when he was asked to write/trace his name and draw about what he enjoys doing. "I don't know how" ans "I cannot do it" were his initial reactions, but with some encouragement, he went on to give it a try. He also needed some help with cutting, although felt more confident the second time he handled scissors.
Griffin shows independence during snack time and changing time. He eats well on his own, brushes his teeth without help, and changes his shirt by himself. Even when he uses the toilet to make wiwi, he says "I have to make sure there's no more ne", before he pulls up his underwear. He then proceeds to flush and wash his hands. "I have to wet my hands a little, before I put soap, mommy said". He is like a little grown up in many ways. : )
