Ian Graduates!

As many of you know, this is Ian's first year at school and today he graduated with his class, the kids of Nursery Farm! Our photo show's Ian up on stage as he collected his certificate (Ian is in the middle, wearing his hat - as if you needed telling!). Meanwhile, Mom received Ian's first school report which we have great pleasure in re-producing for you below. It was written by ian's Teacher, Susan. Enjoy!

Self-Help Skills

Ian still needs help in some areas of the self-help skills but he will always attempt to take his shoes on and off. I am amazed at how well Ian can put his socks on. Ian will attempt to undress himself ready for swimming.

Gross Motor Skills

When balancing on the low beam in the activity room Ian, is a little nervous but he does attempt to cross it with help. I have recently observed that Ian is using the small climbing apparatus by himself.

Fine Motor Skills

Ian will attempt to hold a crayon and paint brush by himself but does need help and encouragement to stay on task.

Language Skills

Ian’s vocabulary has widened considerably this term and he is stringing 1-2 words together clearly. He can express himself extremely well in all situations.

Listening Skills

Ian will listen for short periods of time when we are reading stories and will follow and understand instructions with some encouragement.

Academic Skills

Ian has improved academically and will consistently match given shapes on our class shape wall. Ian will always repeat colours and he is currently working hard to count 1-5 in proper order.

Most Favorite Activities

Ian loves to swim but generally enjoys all of the activities on offer at school. He keeps himself busy by playing with a wide variety of toys and puzzles.
