Teacher Reports

The written comments from their teachers:

Noah:
Noah knows just who he is! He has no problem communicating his thoughts and opinions. In larger groups, he tends to quickly take the lead and give others directions. Throughout class he is always excited to participate and wants to be the first to answer.
Noah has great skills when it comes to problem solving. He is great with manipulatives and during activities when he is challenged to think outside the box. He is usually the first to finish art projects that require in-depth thinking.
Noah easily pieces together familiar words to attempt to understand what's written. He is well on his way to reading. Writing time is always a favorite for Noah as he can usually finish quickly and loves to be first.

Her comments are very diplomatic!

Sam works well in both large and small groups. He also works well alone. He tends to choose working in a small group when free time is allotted. Sam is great at listening to his peers and is more than aware of others' needs.
Sam recognizes and can recite and recognize the entire alphabet and the numbers 1-20. He is very smart and easily dissects information during lessons.
Sam communicates everything perfectly. During writing practice he is especially careful to follow directions.

They are so very different from each other. It's a remarkable thing to watch.
