Seth

It was a surreal day today.  We registered Seth for Kindergarten.  I have a school aged child.  I decided not to homeschool. He will ride the bus. -- this is crazy talk!

Seth is really excited, he has really opened up socially since being in Montessori and has made some great friends.  It's sad that they can't all go to the same school together, Seth will either go to Sunnyside or Jeffserson -- I'm excited to see what this new phase in life brings!

We had parent teacher conferences last week; much of what was said was said before, that Seth is very bright, kind, well rounded child.

The only thing new that stood out to me is how Seth has developed socially.  Here are some excerpts that  put a smile on my face:

"Seth always has a big smile on his face when he plays with his friends.  He demonstrates confidence in his gross motor skills."

"Seth is a fantastic role model to the younger children."

"Seth is very motivated, and he works hard to accomplish goals he sets forth with great consideration."

"Seth is quite artistic, he learns through visual imprinting.  his attention to detail helps him create masterpieces of structural and artistic design.  He can truly express himself in marvelous ways."

"Seth has a wonderful sense of order."

"Seth enjoys learning.  He finds interest in his work, and he absorbs the information with an incredible memory for knowledge."

"He is a well-rounded individual.  Seth has always been very independent in his quest for his own human potential.  We have seen him explore all areas of the classroom independently, and still he finds a balance where he can laugh and play with his friends."

I've really enjoyed our experience with Montessori.  Seth really does thrive in the type of environment that they provide.  Too bad that they do not have a Montessori throughout elementary.
