MY BIG BOYS!!!

THE BOYS ARE JUST GROWING UP! THEY ARE SO FUNNY AND SAY THE FUNNIEST THINGS THESE DAYS. I HAD TEACHER CONFERENCES AT SCHOOL ON MONDAY AND THEY ARE BOTH DOING GREAT. I ONLY HAD ONE CONCERN ABOUT AUSTIN, BUT WAS NOT GOING TO MENTION IT JUST YET UNLESS MRS. TONI BROUGHT IT UP AND SHE DID:)! SHE SAID HE IS DOING GOOD AND IS SUCH A JOY TO HAVE IN CLASS, BUT SHE HAS A REAL HARD TIME KEEPING HIS ATTENTION. SHE SAID SHE TRIED DOING MORE ONE ON ONE LESSONS WITH HIM,BUT THAT DID NOT WORK EITHER BECAUSE HE WAS TO BUSY LOOKING AROUND THE ROOM AT EVERYONE ELSE AND WHAT THEY WERE DOING. SHE DID SAY THAT THEY HAVE 3 OTHER BOYS IN HIS CLASS THAT ARE ON THE SAME LEARNING LEVEL AS HIM AND SHE GETS ALL 4 OF THEM TOGETHER FOR A SMALL LESSON AND THAT SEEMS TO WORK BEST FOR THEM ALL. SHE SAID HE LOVES PRACTICAL LIFE(COOKING, CLEANING, WASHING DISHES, ETC.) AND SCIENCE, BUT IF IT WAS GEOGRAPHY AND THEY WERE NOT BLOWING SOMETHING UP HE WAS NOT INTERESTED. SHE SAID HE CANNOT START HIS DAY WITHOUT COMING IN AND FINDING HER TO SAY GOOD MORNING AND WHEN HE LEAVES HE GOES TO THE DOOR AND TURNS AROUND AND SAYS GOOD BYE TO THE CLASS. THE BOYS ONLY GO UNTIL 12:00 AND SOME OF THE KIDS STAY UNTIL 3:00 SO HE TELLS THEM ALL GOODBYE:)! IT MADE ME FEEL REALLY GOOD TO HEAR HER SAY THOSE THINGS AND KNOW THAT SHE KNOWS HIM THAT WELL ALREADY. I LOVE THE MONTESSORI METHOD OF TEACHING AND BELIEVE IT IS THE BEST THING FOR THEM BOTH. AFTER I MET WITH MRS. TONI, I WENT TO MEET WITH MRS. MARCIA AND SHE COULD NOT SAY ENOUGH NICE THINGS ABOUT MY SWEET AIDEN. SHE SAID, HE WAS SUCH A BRIGHT AND SPECIAL BOY AND DOES EXCEPTIONALLY WELL FOR HIS AGE. HE LOVES PUZZLES AND THEY HAVE A FEW IN THEIR CLASSROOM AND SHE SAID HE TEACHES SOME OF THE KINDERGARTNERS HOW TO DO THEM. SHE SAID HE LOVES MATH AND SITS VERY WELL DURING THEIR BIG CLASS LESSONS AND WORKS VERY GOOD ON HIS OWN. I TOLD HER HE GETS ALL OF THAT FROM HIS DADDY AND POOR AUSTIN ACTS JUST LIKE HIS MOMMY!!! I AM VERY PROUD OF MY BABY BOYS AND SO HAPPY THEY LOVE THEIR TEACHERS THIS YEAR. THEY ARE ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT THEM AND ABOUT THEIR FRIENDS AT SCHOOL WITH EACH OTHER!
