The stuff in brackets are my comments...
Social and emotional development and independence
Nate has settled well into the class routine and school environment. He is a sweet natured little boy (apparently when I am around he turns into a whiny little boy!) and he interacts well with his peers. Nate is quite independent and does not require much assistance when going to the toilet (ah! I see the skid marks at home on his undies) or putting his shoes on (aha no whiny whiny?). He still needs to learn to tidy up though (strange, this he is quite meticulous in his room).
Gross Motor Development
Nate is active and agile in the basic gross motor activities. He is well coordinated and walks steadily on the balancing beam (hmm he came back with a big black bump on his forehead today!). He utilizes all the outdoor playstructures and he loves to ride the little bikes (he is really getting quite fast on those things). His ball skills are progressing nicely (Jake is happy to hear that!)
Fine Motor Development
Nate's fine motor skills need some practice. His pencil grip is incorrect and he battles to manipulate a pair of scissors (maybe I should start him on chopsticks too?). He is able to build with the construction blocks and toys and can now thread large beads on a string (hmm he did small beads in taipei!)
Language and Listening Skills
Nate's speech is developing well. He speaks clearly and his sentence construction is fine for his age. His vocabulary is coming on nicely. He can initiate a conversation with me and chats freely (he can name all the characters in "cars"). Nate does not always listen attentively when a story is being read (ah the selective hearing begins). He often gets distracted.
