So Proud of Our Lukey

On November 15th, Wally and I attended our first parent-teacher conference and it couldn't have gone better.  We are so proud of how well Luke is doing in school.  The first thing Ms. Sandy said to us when we walked in was, "Oh Lucas - if the other 12 kids in class were like him, my job would be easy."  What a great thing to hear as a parent!

We were always pretty confident that Luke would do well in preschool and enjoy it and everything we were told solidified that.  Our one concern was whether or not he was playing and interacting with the other kids since he doesn't give us many details.

We were told that he is a leader in the class - always helping and encouraging the other kids.  He plays with the other kids, but when the boys get a little rowdy, Ms. Sandy said he usually walks away and does something else.  When some of the boys are busy building legos, Luke can be found in the "library" or doing a puzzle.  She said he is very smart and is the only one that can write his name and knows most of his letters and numbers.  Ms. Sandy said he knows the routine and does everything with little direction.  He follows multi-step directions with no problem.  Her only concern was keeping him engaged and busy enough so that he doesn't get bored.

Luke really looks forward to his school days and he loves staying for an extra 2 hours on Tuesdays for "Lunch Bunch".  I don't always send him since Tuesdays are my days home with the kids, but I can sense his disappointment when he doesn't get to go.

Hopefully Luke's love of learning continues.  We couldn't be prouder!

Here are some things that were hanging in the hallway at his school:



This one cracks us up since Luke has never ridden his bike in leaves.  Where do they come up with this stuff???  Kids are too funny!
