Nate' report card

Here's nate with my new goggle sunglasses, the glare is just to great here and I decided to finally get these big goggle glasses. He got his teeth polished today as well.

So this is what his report card says:-

Fine motor development-
Nate still needs to practise his pencil grip, he is now able to snip paper with a pair of scissors. Nate is beginning to color within the lines and draw a body image. He can manipulate pegs in a peg board.

Language development-
Nate's speecu is mature, his pronounciation is good and he expresses himself well. He has a large vocabulary. Nate is always eager to impart his news and he is beginning to join in during discussion time. Nate enjoys a story being read to the group and he is able to listen more attentively with fewer distractions.

Music and movement-
Nate is far more confident during music and movement. His performance was excellent in our class concert. Well done Nate!

General comments-
Nate has made such a pleasing progress in all areas of the school curriculum. He is a delightful child with a sensitive nature. I shall certainly miss this sweet boy and I wish him all the best next year.

Well... nate is a senior next year and is in the hedgeghog class. Last report card his scissor skills were poor, I guess all that snipping in the garden has helped him but not my plants! he snipped off all the leaves and flowers from a plant, when I wasn't looking! now if he can wash the car as well, William may not have a job!
