Progress Report - End of 1st Week

I decided to call this a "Progress Report" vs a "Report Card" because we've already seen Grace demonstrating so much of what she has learned during her 1st week of school.

One morning, while I was making the bed, I turned around to get the pillows off the chair. There Grace was, handing me a pillow. She continued to get pillows and hand them to me while I put them on the bed.

Another time, I had spilled water on the floor in the laundry room transferring clothes from the sink to the washing machine. Grace ran off and when she returned, she'd gotten the towel hanging from the dishwasher handle and started wiping up the water. I never mentioned anything about cleaning it up.

She's also improving her Spanish. She holds her cup up to the refrigerator and asks for "agua". We wanted to make sure we heard her correctly, so Steve asked "como se dice "water" en espanol?". She replied "agua".

I haven't pushed the potty training at home this week. I wanted her to adjust to being away from Momma, then we'll tackle that.

Pictures her teacher shared with us:

Having a snack. Students will be responsible for preparing the snacks for the class. They also set the table, putting the cup and plate on the designated spot on the mat. Then a student is also responsible for washing the dishes. Notice that these are BREAKABLE - something I haven't dared!


Playing with Playdough. I've never seen her not eating it!



Students play with one thing at a time. When they are finished, they put it back where they got it and move on.

We treated her to an "End of 1st School Week" trip to get gelato. Needless to say, she loved it.


When she finished, she ran to the gelato case and started signing "more" and "ice cream". Who can say "no" to that? So we all shared another one.
