I had my first conference with Amelia’s teacher, Ms. Tara, yesterday. We sat in miniature chairs at a small, round table and Ms. Tara asked “Do you have any concerns or questions about Amelia at preschool?” Since Amelia usually says something like “I’ll tell you later” or “nothing” when we ask her about her days at school, my first question was, “What does she do here?”
According to Ms. Tara, Amelia usually has a smile on her face, is one of the more sensitive children (Dave interpreted this as “Amelia tells on others”;)), enjoys playing dress up, and is usually an active participant during tasks and projects. She also spends a little time each day sitting by herself looking at books because “she wants to be alone”. Another teacher, Ms. Jaimie, left a note saying “Amelia is a strong negotiator.” I would agree! In summary, she is doing great at preschool, even if her days are a mystery to us.
