Wonderful teacher!

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. We've been getting settled into the new school year routine. I was a little concerned about this year because Lily was going to have a new teacher for her special ed pre-k class. Her teacher last year was really wonderful and I was scared that we wouldn't get that lucky again. We have been pleasantly surprised to find that her new teacher seems just as wonderful as the one last year. For example, last year her teacher sent home a daily communication sheet where she would write down a few things about how the school day went. There was also a place for parent comments. It was very helpful, especially considering Lily would usually either not answer my questions about school or she would give some nonsense answer. Well, her new teacher has taken this one step further. The new daily sheet looks something like this:

Name:____________
Date:____________

Activities:_____________
_____________

Today I felt:

Happy Unhappy Fussy
Tired Quiet Funny

(The teacher circles how the child was acting that day)

What I ate for snack: ________________

Today I had:
____Speech
____OT
____PT
____Library
____Inclusion with Head Start
____Field Trip

Recess: ____Outside ____Inside

Accidents/Health Concerns: _____________________________

Additional Comments: ____________________

Parent Comments: ______________________

Anyway, I thought that was a really neat idea and it makes me feel even better about how this school year is going to go. It's Lily's last year of pre k before kindergarten and we really want to know that she's getting the most out of this last year of preparation.
