Last week was a good week for the 7yo! Following a glowing report at his parent-teacher conference, he was proud to take us to our town’s annual schools art exhibition, to show off his own artwork.
His parent-teacher conference couldn’t have gone better, I heard all the things that I wanted to hear; he is exceeding the benchmarks in all areas, he reads well above his Grade level, his maths is extremely strong, he’s even started to write more descriptively (moving away from writing the shortest sentences possible!). He still doesn’t remember to use capital letters at the beginning of sentences and he can make careless mistakes when he works too quickly, but we need something to work on! He is sociable and thoughtful, his teacher said that she could see the ‘big brother’ in him in his interactions with classmates. He is funny and bright. I am incredibly proud of him :)
On Thursday evening we all headed over to the Middle School to see the art show. This is the second year in a row that he has had a piece chosen to be part of the exhibition :) Last year saw his pirate treasure map make the cut. This year it was Mars, complete with space rocket… an interesting, somewhat abstract, piece :)
I am just so pleased to see how well he has settled into school here, how hard he works and how much effort he makes to get involved in activities. I couldn’t be more proud of him.
And you’re right to be proud! Looks a great piece of work, and I do like the rocket. Lovely photo, too x
Thank you Jocelyn, it’s lovely to see him doing so well x
Ooh that is a lovely piece of work! I love the rocket breaking free from the frame, as it were, and the colour explosion. Clearly a talented boy!
Thank you! I never quite know what he’s up to in art, it’s lovely to see what he’s been doing :)
It’s great they pick out talented artists. At my kids school, they get art work put on the wall, but not for the specific purpose of an exhibition.
The exhibition is wonderful, and the work that is chosen for the show really is impressive; and it’s from kindergarten right through to the High School students. It’s a lovely community event.
Well done that boy! So lovely to see him progressing and settling in so well to school. My 9 year old still forgets to put capital letters at the beginning of sentences!
I’m so pleased with his progress :) What is it with capital letters?!
That is absolutely fantastic, well done! And a wonderful piece of art :)
Thank you :)
Well done to him! Really brilliant that he’s settled so well and love his artwork! Thanks for linking to Loud ‘n’ Proud :)
Thank you Sarah, I am both proud and relieved x
Creative talent in your family! Well done
Thank you :)
