It's finally started to click!

Mason is finally starting to show an interest in LEARNING!! Haha, that boy is just all about having a good time. As he should be, however there are things he needs to start learning if we are going to start Kindergarten in the fall! Just in the last few months he has learned most of his letters and sounds and just about has his name down pat. Yes, just now...but we are so glad that he decided to do it on his own before we were going to have to MAKE him sit down and practice. I was giving him time because I know that it is much easier to do it when they are ready but I did not want him going to K and being "that kid". Since he has shown an interest I took full advantage and we have tackled the alphabet and his name. Next up...sight words! We WILL be ready for Kindergarten next year!

This post was prompted by my parent/teacher conference to discuss Mason's progress report for mid-year. I am so proud of him, seeing how far he has come since September is amazing. He has grown up so much! His work was like night and day. His teacher was so proud of his growth and is looking forward to seeing how  much more he will gain between now and May. She had the sweetest things to say about him and it really made me so proud to be his mom.

Some comments made by Mrs. Baylor:

"I love his smile, he just lights up the room, and makes my days brighter."

"He is such a happy kid"

"He is a good friend, he is never mean to anyone and plays well with everyone." (This is a little surprising lol )

"He loves to build, blocks is his favorite center."

"He has never really cared about doing "work" until now and he has just taken off!"

We appreciate Mrs. Baylor and her hard work! And we are so proud of you Mason! Keep working hard!! We love you so much!
