preschool conferences

today was cullan's spring parent teacher conferences at pre-school. his teacher had nothing but wonderful things to say about him. she said he had really changed since the beginning of the year. he has really come out of his shell and is much more social and engaged in his class. he had improved on counting, identifying numbers, colors, letters. It was very exciting to see his growth. I could tell from practicing at home that he had gotten a lot better as well. Anyways, the teacher was explaining to me that all year long they listen to this cd. It is set to music and it talks about this character. As it plays, it goes, it describes the character, like Max has one head and two eyes. As the music plays the kids have to draw what they hear.

Cullan's drawing from the beginning of the year.

Cullan's drawing at the end of the year. Much more detail.

They also interviewed Cullan. I thought I would post it, only because this is a family journal and it will be fun to look back and remember it.

his teacher than shared some very sweet stories with me. she said that cullan was one of the most compassionate kids in the room. every mom loves to hear stuff like this about their child. she said that he is very attentive to someone having a bad day and that the other day in particular just melted her heart. she said that Cullan was standing next to a little girl in his class that has to wear leg braces. the teacher said that she is a little wobbly and falls often. i guess cullan was standing near her, and she fell. the teacher said that cullan had nothing to do with it, but he thought that he did. She said that he bent down by here and kept saying, "I'm so sorry friend" Then he helped her up and gave her a hug.

I am so happy that cullan is kind to others. I have seen evidence of that with how patient he is with briea. she will pull his hear or lay on him and he just says "oh miss". So that is cullan's big report. I am so pleased that he is doing so well. I know he will miss his friends and school when we leave in a few weeks.
