second conference and school days update April...

So fast this last month has gone.. And how quickly the end of the school year is coming. Seems like just yesterday he started preschool and here we are nearing the end of April and completing the second parent-teacher conference for the year. So what a perfect time for another update on how school is going..

First, April, has been an amazing month.. Lots of new experiences and things to learn. They had their 100th day of preschool. They did reviews to see how far they have come from the beginning of the year. They have been learning so much. They celebrated Earth Day by learning more about recycling and how you can make new things out of old things. They made collages to bring home after conferences and they have been learning new songs and reading new books. He has had so much fun.. its going to be hard this summer when he's not in school.

His conference went very well. He is actually ahead of a lot of his classmates. He can cut without any help, his fine motor skills are very advanced. He can write his whole name and can write it smaller than he used to. He can draw circles, hearts, squares, rectangles, triangles, but needs some help with diamonds. But, hey, diamonds are hard to draw even for me. HEHEHEHE! He can count to 30 without any help and only mixes up a couple numbers. His alphabet is coming along very well. He can read his name and the names of 3 other classmates. He is very considerate.. very artistic.. Loves the library and since the book fair was on during conferences we went in and he bought a couple books for himself and then we bought one on the teachers list to donate. She loved it! She can't wait to read it on Monday. She looks forward to having him back next year and has said that not only will he be a leader in her class, but by this time next year she fully expects that he will be reading. He has grown his vocabulary very well. He has also had a big growth in self confidence since the beginning of the year. We are very thrilled to see the changes.

pcoming are a few events that we are very excited for. On May 14th the class will take a field trip to an organic dairy farm in the area. We love this as we have been buying organic milk for ages and he LOVES it. Then on May 28th they get to take another field trip to a fire station in the area. They had the firefighters in once before to the class and they got to check out a fire engine... This time they get to go explore the fire station and do some learning things there. Then the final thing we are looking forward to for the year is the Preschool Music Program on June 4th.. I will make sure to take lots of pictures for his scrapbook.. Can't wait to see what they do.

busy monday.......

And what a busy day Monday will be. William will have a Dr's appointment at 8 am regarding the headaches he's getting and hopefully that will go well. I am anxiously awaiting this appointment. I just want him to feel better and hopefully this will be nothing more than just headaches. Please God, I'm praying that's just what it is. Then off to the dentist by 10 am for his check up and cleaning. He's always had good check ups. So that should go fine. After that its time to grab lunch quickly before he has to catch the bus for school. UGH, talk about a busy morning. Mommy is definitely going to need coffee just to get out the door.

Hopefully, Monday, will go smoothly and we will be to our destinations on time... I try to be to appointments on time, but its not always easy to do. I am, however, dreading having to be up so early on a day I requested off for things like this. Mommy, desperately, needs a break from everything..
